Ensuring Access to the COVID-19 Vaccine for Homebound Older Adults and Individuals with Disabilities
Grant Summary
The goal of this Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) grant is to rapidly foster adoption of policies that will ensure homebound older adults and individuals with disabilities receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible. Approximately 7.5 million people are homebound and at high risk of serious illness and death from the coronavirus. However, there has been little emphasis on how to vaccinate adults not living in nursing homes or congregate communities and who would have great difficulty in leaving their home for vaccination. TFAH will convene stakeholder organizations to influence policy and provide a forum to organize efforts by states and regions, share best practices and coordinate communications to maximize vaccination efforts. This grant is co-funded with Cambia Health Foundation.
