"They are definitely the most susceptible, they're definitely the ones that really need to get vaccinated, right now, I know it's hard to get the vaccine right now but it'll get easier. "
Kelm told KRIS 6 News nearly the entire staff worked on Saturday in an effort to expedite the vaccinations.
All 97 residents will get their second dose of the vaccine on February 27.
