Wellmore partnered with CVS Health and will be able to complete more than 250 vaccinations at the 1st vaccine clinic.

A 2nd clinic will take place Wednesday, Jan. 27 to administer an initial dose to any new residents and staff or any that chose not to receive it during the 1st clinic.

The 2nd dose will be given to those who received an initial dose at the 1st clinic.

Butcheror said, “We are committed to ensuring the safety of our residents, their families, and our team members. Throughout these unprecedented times our residents have continued to live a Weller Life and this vaccine clinic is a critical step to ensuring our residents can further do so.

"Our resident’s lives have been disrupted; just as everyone else’s, however not near to the extent. At Wellmore our residents have continued to live and have fun in a safe, private, gated community with socialization, dining, wellness, housekeeping, maintenance, on-site healthcare and other amenities available to them.

"We firmly believe that people have been safer and better off living in our community than they have been on their own.”
