USA Health Taking Referrals For Vaccinating Homebound Residents

Members of the USA Health Pandemic Response Team recently began offering vaccine injections to homebound residents who are referred by a healthcare provider at this internet portal. “Because not everyone can leave their homes to receive the shot, we are sending staff members out when requested to ensure everyone who wants a vaccine can get one,” said Sarah Kahalley, R.N., M.S.H.A., director of clinical resources for USA Health Physicians Group. “We know the more people who receive the vaccination, the better our chances are of slowing the spread of the virus in our community.” Community members can use the same link to self-schedule appointments at the drive-through clinic at the Mobile Civic Center, and vaccines are offered on weekdays at the USA Health Strada Patient Care Center in Mobile without an appointment. Since December 15, 2020, USA Health has administered more than 75,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses to everyone from frontline workers to children as young as 12 years old.
