A Killeen resident who has helped dozens of senior citizens get registered for COVID-19 vaccines said Wednesday the Bell County Health Department needs to make the online process more âuser friendly.â
For the past two months, Shirley Booker, 73, of Killeen, and other volunteers of Pershing Park Baptist Church in Killeen, have been assisting senior citizens and computer illiterate residents navigate the online vaccination websites needed to sign up for COVID-19 vaccines. Booker estimates they have helped over 100 seniors get registered since January.
âThere is definitely a need out there for others to step in and assist those who are not familiar with the (online vaccination) system,â Booker said Wednesday. âThe elder people, a lot of them donât have computers, and theyâre not computer literate, and you have to go on the internet in order to sign up for a shot. So, thatâs what weâve been doing.â
