For the last year, people who have mobility issues or those who are immunocompromised have not been able to safely leave the house.

Many others have not been able to figure out the complicated system to book COVID-19 vaccination appointments. 

After months of working tirelessly every day to get doses of the vaccine for homebound seniors and other patients, a Southwest Florida home health company finally got its hands on some shots, a critical need that many say has been overlooked. 

In just three days, BrightStar Care has vaccinated more than 300 seniors and plans to do a lot more. Email HomeboundVaccine@em.myflorida.com to register for shots.

For more information, or to reach the state’s COVID-19 Call Center, call (866) 779-6121 for assistance.
