At the same time, more than 40 staff were vaccinated by an external team of healthcare professionals. 

One resident, 85-year-old Evelyn White, said the vaccine was “a right step in a right direction” upon receiving hers. 

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Mandeya, Anita Dorfman’s manager, reported staff and residents’ excitement while queuing for the vaccine, adding that they were “grateful” to be chosen.
