COVID-19 Second Booster Dose
The CDC recently released a recommendation for a second COVID-19 booster dose for certain persons. Specifically, a second mRNA booster dose could benefit people ages 50 years and older, as they are at increased risk for severe COVID-19. People ages 50 years and older may choose to receive a second booster dose, if it has been at least 4 months after the first booster. We recommend that appropriate residents receive their second booster dose. The COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) are available. Please let your physician or nurse know right away if you or your loved one would like to receive the second booster.

Alan entered the first Physician Assistant class at UNM and returned to Acoma to work. In 2007 they moved to Rye to be closer to his family and to get out of the city... "I've worked in our building for about 10 years and for Genesis since it bought Pueblo Care and Rehab. I have great affection for the facility and the staff because so many people who work here really care about the residents. They go above and beyond to help the residents and give them comfort. My dad and my mother-in- law both spent their final years here and I knew their care was excellent. It made seeing them go a little bit easier."
