BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The Louisiana Department of Health says that if someone is 16 or older and are undergoing home health care and dialysis, they can get the shot even though they are younger than 70.
Dialysis medical directors say this shot is needed to protect their patients considering they are classified as a vulnerable group. The team at Fresenius Kidney Care has received almost 5,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine since December. The Department of Health sent it their way to try and get as many of their dialysis patients vaccinated.
