Over the past weeks, Related Affordable and Related Management Company, under a CDC program in partnership with CVS and Walgreens, have been able to offer our most vulnerable residents access to the COVID-19 vaccine. This is a nationwide program that touches over 100 of our affordable properties in 18 states. The team has been working tirelessly to organize over 365 on-site clinics through CVS and Walgreens for over 10,000 residents ages 62 and up. The effort is helping to keep residents, their families, friends and community healthy and safe. To date, nearly 9,700 residents have already received their first dose of the vaccine.
Many of our residents have shared how much this opportunity means to them, and their words remind us of the tremendous impact we may create for others. Here’s a video filmed recently at Manhattan Plaza featuring perspectives from our residents.
