Sumter Today: The COVID-19 vaccine arrives at a local long-term care facility
Posted
The first allocations of COVID-19 vaccines have been rolling out across the state, and part of this current phase 1A includes those who live and work in nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
On December 28, South Carolina received 84,500 doses of the Moderna vaccine that are meant for the CDC’s long term care program.
This federal program works with CVS and Walgreens to provide vaccines in these facilities, while the Pfizer vaccine has been given to hospitals to vaccinate their frontline health care workers.
Covenant Place in Sumter received their first doses of the Moderna vaccine on Tuesday, and we were there to give you a look inside.
