If you happened to be near The Waters senior living center on Jan. 20, you may have heard polka music in the air.

That’s because the residents at The Waters received their first-dose immunizations for COVID-19.

What could have been a somber affair for the residents was morphed it into a lighthearted event called a “poke a party.” After each resident received the immunization, they were invited to take a swing at the COVID-shaped piñata.

The second shot will be coming in approximately four weeks and, thanks to the creative staff, it surely will be another fun event.
