TIGARD, Oregon (KPTV) — A retirement community in Tigard is finally getting the COVID-19 vaccine for people living there.
Tuesday was the first clinic at Summerfield Estates Retirement Community. This community is an independent living community and wasn’t included in the assisted living or skilled nursing rollout.
One of the people getting the vaccine is Paula Eatman and her son Stephen, a senior executive with the company that operates the retirement community.
“I’m excited because I could have gone to another building and got it because of my interaction with memory care,” Stephen said. “I am high up on the list, but I wanted to be able to get the shot with my mom. I thought it would be nice to be able to get it together.”
He said they have been trying to get the vaccine there for a while and finally got it worked out.
The Summerfield Estates Retirement Community will hold another clinic when it is time to give the second dose.
