Chesterfield County’s Fire and EMS department are bringing COVID-19 vaccines to homebound residents who have medical issues.
Allen Yee is the county’s tactical medicine provider and runs Mobile Integrated Healthcare. Since 2014, the unit has helped homebound residents who have medical issues, working with them at a more holistic level than the emergency care they d receive from calling 911.
As an example, Yee said if someone calls 911 because they fall and break their leg, the paramedics will come and transport that person to the hospital.
