Great Sense of Optimism and Gratitude as Legacy Village of Jacksonville Completes Round 2 of COVID-19 Vaccinations of Seniors, Team Members

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. (February 19, 2021) - Legacy Village of Jacksonville, a premier senior living and memory care community in Jacksonville, Alabama, has reached a major milestone in its efforts to protect its residents and team members from the COVID-19 virus after completing its second round of vaccinations earlier this month.

The senior living community began its vaccination campaign in January after significant planning to ensure it could secure sufficient quantities of the vaccine for all residents and team members who wished to participate.

The completion of the senior living community’s vaccination campaign marks a step forward on its continued journey toward optimal health and wellness for its family of residents, who have displayed considerable mental and physical fortitude throughout the pandemic.

With two doses of the vaccine under our belts, we can continue forward on that mission of health and wellness -- and for that we’re extremely grateful,” said Smith.
