Long-term care staff are eligible to be vaccinated at one of the Phase 1A hospitals across the state. They also have the option to receive the vaccine through a pharmacy program that will vaccinate LTC staff and residents at the long-term care facility. The staff of long-term care facilities are among the first to receive the vaccine to help protect the older adults they care for, as adults older than 65 are at greater risk of developing serious illness if diagnosed with COVID-19.
