Heather Bauder, Senior Director Administrator at Our Lady of the Lake's Ollie Steele Burden Manor, talks about the effect of the Walgreen's clinical visit team administering of coronavirus vaccinations to residents on Monday, January 4, 2021, during an interview at the nursing home. The facility entered lockdown prohibiting indoor visits in mid-March, and though the facility has coped by using other visiting methods, she said that the response from both residents and staff has been 'incredible,' and that 'families of residents have been ecstatic with the news that the vaccine was to be administered.' 'I've never seen such a quick turnaround of on consent forms' as they've had with this, she said. 'Residents are anxious, but in a good way.'

COVID-19 vaccines will soon be available to those age 70 and above at certain pharmacies around the Baton Rouge area.

Louisiana unveiled a list Monday of pharmacies statewide, including 23 in the Baton Rouge area, that will begin administering small doses of the vaccine to people 70 and older, end-stage renal disease facility personnel and patients, ambulatory and outpatient health care workers, home agency patients and workers and schools of allied health students, residents and staff.

State officials say people will not be able to show up to the pharmacies without an appointment to receive a shot. Patients should reach out to pharmacies to schedule an appointment.

The pharmacies will only receive roughly 100 doses in the first batch, and the Health Department has already reported phone lines at pharmacies being tied up because of interest in the vaccine.
