Agencies work to provide at-home shots to homebound
Those whose disabilities prevent them from going to the vaccination center at the Clearview Mall for a COVID-19 shot have not been forgotten by county officials.
Beth Herold, director of the county Area Agency on Aging, said many agencies have collaborated to provide vaccines to anyone who needs them, regardless of their ability to get to the vaccine center.
She said anyone with a disability that precludes them from going to the Clearview Mall facility can call the Area Agency on Aging to have a vaccine brought to them and administered by a nurse from Visiting Nurse's Association.
Herold said 30 to 35 shots have been given so far to individuals with disabilities throughout the county.
Those with disabilities who want a COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of their age, can call the Area Agency on Aging during regular business hours at 724-282-3008 to be placed on the at-home vaccine list.
