OSAGE BEACH, Mo. — Arrowhead Skilled Nursing & Rapid Recovery residents and staff members will begin receiving the COVID-19 vaccine starting Tuesday, December 29 from Walgreens.

Walgreens plans to administer the initial dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on-site to both staff and residents of the community’s skilled nursing and rapid recovery units. The COVID-19 vaccine requires two doses to be fully effective, so Walgreens plans to return to Arrowhead Skilled Nursing & Rapid Recovery on January 26 to administer the second dose of the vaccine.

Arrowhead leadership is grateful to be among the first receiving the vaccine.

“We feel so fortunate to be offering the vaccine to our residents and staff,” said Arrowhead Administrator, Jeff Basler. “We cannot thank Walgreens and the CDC enough for prioritizing our community and senior living communities across the country.”

The COVID-19 vaccine is not required, but Basler is urging residents and staff to consider taking it.

“We are strongly encouraging residents and staff members to consider the benefits of the vaccine, the findings from the FDA, and to consult the advice of their primary care physician if they have concerns,” Said Basler.

Arrowhead assisted living and memory care residents and staff members will be vaccinated at a future date.
