SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ – Residents of an assisted living center in South Brunswick recently received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Brandywine Living in Princeton partnered with CVS Pharmacy to administer the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to residents.

Kirt Wedemeyer, 95, said he was glad to get the vaccine because he "needed it."

“I think this is an incredible breakthrough to be able to have a vaccine so quickly," he said.

The senior living center held several clinics across all their centers to inoculate residents and frontline team members.

Meanwhile, South Brunswick reported 107 new COVID-19 cases and seven related deaths for the week of Jan. 3 to 9. Several of the new COVID-19 cases are connected to an outbreak at a long-term care facility.
