At Home Vaccines

Homebound Medicare patients can now get vaccinated AT HOME FOR FREE through Medicare.

As this action demonstrates, a person’s ability to leave their home should not be an obstacle to getting the COVID-19 vaccine. As states and the federal government continue to break down barriers – like where vaccines can be administered – resources for connecting communities to vaccination options remain key. Unvaccinated individuals and those looking to assist friends and family can:

    1. Visit vaccines.gov (English) or vacunas.gov (Spanish) to search for vaccines nearby

    2. Text GETVAX (438829) for English or VACUNA (822862) for Spanish for near-instant access to details on three vaccine sites in the local area

    3. Call the National COVID-19 Vaccination Assistance Hotline at 1-800-232-0233 (TTY: 1-888-720-7489) for assistance in English and Spanish

Granted EVERYONE gets the vaccine for free, but, homebound people are generally hard to access.  These links help get them connected to places that can get someone to their home to get them vaccinated. 

If you, parent or family members are home-bound, please use this free medicare resource!
