The second round of the Pfizer vaccinations was given by Walgreens employees.

Tim Janes, executive director of the assisted living home on Bypass Road said that about 95 percent of the residents volunteered to take the vaccine.

“I’m happy with that number,” he said.

He said there were about three people who had their first shot, and they will get their booster after the appropriate waiting time, which is about 20 days.
