More than half of seniors in Texas have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, but what about those who are stuck at home and canât make it to a vaccine appointment?
According to medical professionals, seniors over 65 are at the highest risk for severe COVID-19 infections, making their need for the COVID-19 vaccine even greater.
âSeniors definitely are at greater risk for those really bad outcomes that are hospitalization and death. So, definitely seniors are a group that we are very concerned about, always,â said Kelly Craine, communications lead for Waco-McLennan County Public Health District.
