Paramedics bring COVID-19 vaccines to homebound seniors across Ontario
"We're already realizing very quickly, as we predicted, that there are people who are being left behind," said Toronto geriatrician Dr. Samir Sinha, who is involved in planning the homebound vaccinations strategy in his city.
Seniors might not be signing up for a variety of reasons, including trouble navigating online booking systems, accessing the phone line or inability to get to a physical site, Sinha said.
Primary care providers and community paramedics have started performing some vaccinations for homebound patients in Toronto, Sinha said.
