FALL RIVER If you can’t get to the vaccine the vaccine will come to you.
That’s been the case during the past five weeks for a growing number of homebound Fall River residents who either are physically unable or would have great difficulty leaving their residences in order to visit a COVID-19 vaccination site.
The city’s home-visit vaccine program has been handled by the Fire Department’s EMS, or emergency medical services, division.
As of Wednesday afternoon, a total of 278 mostly elderly and incapacitated city residents had received either Moderna or Johnson & Johnson shots, according to EMS Lt. Nick Silva.
