Jewish Care residents at Anita Dorfman House in Harrow have become part of the first wave of vaccinations against coronavirus, with around 60 receiving their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine yesterday.
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.
