The ongoing vaccinations against Covid-19 offer to everyone the hope that life this year will gradually go back to what we thought as “normal” before the pandemic errupted. In the photo below, Heather Rodriguez, Administrator of Touchpoints at Bloomfield, smiles as she is administered the shot. “This day will stay with me forever as the day my building felt hope again,” she commented. “Since our 1st positive case in late March 2020 we have felt sadness, hopelessness, seen the loss of both staff and residents and many days were afraid to return home to our families not knowing if we were going to make them sick. Today for the first time in many months I saw laughter and smiles behind the masks and hope in everyone’s eyes. Vaccinatons will save lives.” //;.<1;2?.;;.<1;2?.; 1.*5=1,*;.1 . * 5 = 1 , * ; . 1.*5=17.=@8;41 . * 5 = 1BSFBBS7 . SSF= @ 8F; 4
