As John Yorke waits his turn to get a COVID-19 vaccine, the New Glasgow, N.S., man hopes everyone who has access does not delay getting their shot.
Yorke, 70, is housebound with multiple sclerosis. He receives twice daily home care visits from teams of two people, as well as two nursing care visits each week.
Although everyone wears personal protective equipment when they come to his house, Yorke said the level of traffic makes him even more aware of the fact he hasn t been vaccinated yet.
Eventually, the pilot program will expand to include all communities in the northern and western health zones, which together accounted for about two-thirds of the names on the registry as of the last report.
People will be notified by email if they re eligible for the virtual care program. Participants will have to have a valid Nova Scotia health card number and a valid e-mail address they regularly use.
The news release from Nova Scotia Health says the program will connect patients with primary care providers online either through a computer or a mobile device, so participants have to be able to access the internet through one of those means.
