There were news articles on the nursing home in New York state that had a huge outbreak of COVID at the same time they did the vaccinations. So far, it looks like the virus was brought in by CVS/Walgreens or an aide worker. But the harsh side effects may have also weakened the residents so they're more vulnerable to the disease.
