They said 78 residents and staff have since recovered since testing positive, and there are now only three active cases within the community of individuals living within the nursing home. Facility leaders said 87 of the 89 infected residents and staff were fully vaccinated, so leaders are"obviously concerned we experienced some level of waning immunity.""We had it scheduled for Nov. 2, and then that got put aside because of the pandemic," O'Connell said, stressing that officials from the nursing home reached out to Walgreens"right away," when they were told that the booster was made available to residents.
"We're following the guidance of the Department of Health," said O'Connell,"and they do not recommend providing booster to anybody with active infections for 14 days after the outbreak."
