TOLEDO, Ohio The Lucas County Health Department is teaming up with Promedica, Mercy Health and Toledo Fire Rescue to get those who are homebound vaccinated.
Dr. Brian Kaminski with Promedica said programs like this one are important because those who live at home and generally don t leave, still need care. It s likely that people are entering the home, which creates risk. Anytime we have that human-to-human interaction there could be transmission of disease, Kaminski said.
Melvin Parker, a community paramedic, firefighter and registered nurse, alongside Heidi Trombly, a community healthcare worker are a team of two administering the shots.

The City of Santa Maria is looking into raising dozens of user fees to recover losses over the years.
On Tuesday, the city held the first of two workshops where officials broke down the recommendations being made. The motivation for this is we haven t raised our user fees in 15 years. We have been adjusting them for inflation annually but in some cases, the cost of providing the service has skyrocketed,â Santa Maria Public Information Officer Mark van de Kamp said.
A consultant hired by the City of Santa Maria is recommending most fees be increased and taxpayer subsidies eliminated as the cityâs costs to provide some services have risen over the years.
