NEW HAVEN, Conn. A new program is helping seniors get signed up for the COVID-19 vaccine appointments as they deal with challenges like navigating online portals, a lack of internet, or not having a ride to their vaccine site.
The Vaccine Buddy Program is a partnership between the Interfaith Volunteer Care Givers of Greater New Haven and the Agency on Aging of South Central Connecticut.
