The City Clerk of the City of New York
Parker Jewish Institute is pleased
to announce that it is now
administering the second dose
of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to
residents and staff.
“The COVID-19 vaccines are key
in protecting against the virus.
We are doing everything we
possibly can at Parker to keep
our residents and our team
members safe,” said Michael N.
Rosenblut, Parker’s President and
CEO. “We are so grateful to be at
this turning point now in the fight
against the pandemic.”
Parker is partnering with
Walgreens, one of the approved
pharmacies, to administer the
vaccine. This process requires
two doses that are at a minimum
provided 21 days apart. Parker,
which provided the first round of
the Pfizer vaccine on December
21, is working closely with
residents and their families,
as well as staff members, to
ensure the successful rollout and
scheduling of the vaccine.
Residents and staff reported that
they were filled with optimism
about the vaccination process.
“I’m feeling fine,” said Rosario
Shipp, a resident at Parker, after
receiving her second dose of the
vaccine. Knowing that the vaccine
has a high efficacy rate, she said,
“I’m going to be ok.”
“I received my second COVID-19
vaccine Monday. I’m feeling
well,” said Geralyn M. Abel, RN,
BSN, and an Infection Control
Practitioner at Parker. “There’s a
little of soreness at the injection
site, but nothing more than taking
any other kind of vaccine for me.
It’s a great opportunity to be
vaccinated against COVID. My
physician recommends it. I think
it it’s the best thing to do for my
optimum health.”
“Taking the vaccine is the
best thing we can do for herd
immunity and to have antibodies
against the COVID virus,” Ms.
Abel added. “Since there is no
treatment for it, the best defense
is to be preventative.”
“I don’t feel any side effects,” said Dr.
Igor Israel, Parker’s Medical Director,
who had his first dose of the vaccine
recently. “It makes me feel great that
everyone is getting the vaccine at
Parker. Finally, we have a light at
the end of the tunnel.”
Parker will continue to update the
community about the vaccination
process as new information
becomes available.
As always, Parker’s clinical team
is available to speak with family
members who have questions
regarding the vaccine and about
their loved one. Family members
are directed to call the Family Call
Center at 718-289-2888, or email
info@parkerinstutuite.org.
