Three Friends Celebrate Turning 100 Together After Getting Covid Vaccines

All three women, who live at a community home for senior citizens, had their birthdays within days of each other. 

Three friends living together at a senior citizen home in the US defeated the coronavirus pandemic to mark their 100th birthdays recently. After getting fully vaccinated, the celebration provided them with a wonderful opportunity to meet their family and friends at the community home in the Manhattan area of New York City. The three women turned 100 within days of each other and decided to celebrate the occasion together by cutting a cake and raising glasses of champagne. In an image shared by the community home, they appeared cheerful as they stood in front of a well-decorated wall and behind a massive cake. In the caption, the community identified the three ladies as Ruth, Lorraine and Edith. Asked how it feels to be 100, Edith, born and raised in Brooklyn, where she helped run her father's furniture business, said it “feels wonderful,” and  Ruth, a retired teacher of Braille to the blind and special education, said it “blows her mind.” Nearly 40 major news outlets covered the celebration, which prompted Lorraine to say that it made her “feel like a celebrity!” The celebration happened in June, while the women also marked their actual birthdays individually, reported the People Magazine in its latest issue.
