CVS Pharmacy has partnered with Brandywine Living at Princeton, located in South Brunswick, as the clinic provider for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

Brandywine, as a company, has already held several clinics that resulted in the inoculation of hundreds of residents and frontline team members. With more than 20 more clinics to be completed over the next few weeks, Brandywine expects to have thousands of its residents and team members vaccinated by month’s end.

Brandywine Living at Princeton resident Kirt Wedemeyer, age 95, said, “I think this is an incredible breakthrough to be able to have a vaccine so quickly.”

When asked how she felt about the vaccine, 90-year-old Dee Wagner of Brandywine Living at Middlebrook Crossing Bridgewater said, “It’s the most important thing in my lifetime, and for the future. It’s almost like a duty. I’m just a 90-year-old setting an example.”
