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.
