VNA Offers Vaccine to Homebound Seniors
The Central Coast Visiting Nurses Association is offering Homebound seniors and their caregivers the Covid-19 vaccine without leaving their home. VNA is offering the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, which doesn't require special freezers.
Those interested in being vaccinated at home or curbside should call the VNA at 831-648-3777, and ask for the Immunization Clinic. Someone will either call back or, if available, take information about the person/people needing the vaccine.
For homebound individuals, a nurse will come on an appointed day to administer the vaccine and stay for 15 minutes to monitor for any reactions.
There is no cost to people receiving the vaccine. However, an administrative fee will be billed to the insurance company, if someone has health insurance. Funding to make the home and curbside vaccines possible comes from the Community Foundation for Monterey County's Covid-19 Relief Fund.
This article was gleaned from the Monterey County Weekly News, here.
