With the Covid-19 vaccine rolling out across the country not everyone has the ability to get to a vaccination site, especially seniors.
Luckily there are now programs being used to get people vaccinated even if they can’t leave the house. Like 97-year-old Dorothy Loper from Bridgeport. Dorothy is a WWII Navy Veteran who was able to get her shot from the Bridgeport Fire Department along with health officials from the City of Bridgeport.
My grandfather who lives up in Massachusetts, also a WWII veteran, was able to get his shot at home as well through the same type of program. My cousin who works as a rapid response nurse at the nearby hospital was able to give him the shot. Which was pretty awesome.
My cousin was able to give my grandfather his first dose of the #covid19 vaccine today. They even made the news! Great job Dave and Papa ❤️ https://t.co/x6V46O2SDR
