Organizations are teaming up for a healthier community
The Montgomery County Homebound Vaccine Program is a collaboration between several local community partners helping to provide access to the updated COVID-19 and flu vaccines to homebound residents. This program is intended to serve county residents who are unable to leave their home to attend traditional pharmacy visits or vaccine clinics.
“We are so grateful to our partners for providing vaccine access to our homebound residents,” said Beth Till, Program Manager, Montgomery County Immunization Coalition. “By providing homebound vaccinations, we’re making sure everyone has an opportunity to stay healthy through the fall and winter.”
“Some people think because you are homebound, you are not high-risk, but it’s actually quite the opposite. Most homebound individuals have people who are coming and going from their home – caregivers, home health care and others – which can increase their risk of exposure,” said Reverend Carolyn Cavaness, Bethel AME Church of Ardmore.”
Our pharmacy partners, Eric’s RX Shoppe and Skippack Pharmacy, provide and administer the vaccine in the patient’s home. To schedule an in-home vaccine appointment, Montgomery County residents or caregivers of residents should email montcovaccines@gmail.com or call 610-281-4933. Insurance is required.
