SAN ANTONIO – Not all seniors are tech savvy or have computers and email, but efforts are being made to make it easier for them to register in order to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
“We are receiving phone calls from people who are very frustrated with the process,” said DeAnne Cuellar, state director of Older Adults Technology Services, which includes Senior Planet.
“We’re still providing all three legs of the stool,” Cuellar said. “Devices, connectivity to the internet and digital literacy training.”
Cuellar said Senior Planet keeps in mind that many seniors are on fixed-incomes.
She said the Senior Planet hotline, 210-504-4862, is a comprehensive service.
