City of Allentown Paramedics and the Allentown Health Bureau are partnering to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to homebound residents in Allentown.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe fully understand that a portion of the population wants to be vaccinated, but health conditions prevent them from reaching a city or other vaccine clinic,\u201d said Mayor Ray O\u2019Connell.\u00a0 \u201cWe want to provide that opportunity to our residents who may need it the most.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allentown EMS Chief of Operations Eric Gratz said, \u201cThis partnership leverages strengths from both EMS and our Health Bureau to reach citizens who may not otherwise get vaccinated.\u00a0 Our paramedics are excited to go above and beyond their daily mission to help accomplish this!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Allentown Health Bureau is ready immediately to partner with Allentown EMS to make sure that our citizens with mobility issues and those who need highly specialized transportation can be vaccinated in the comfort of their homes,\u201d said AHB Director Vicky Kistler.<\/p>\n
To qualify for an in-home vaccination:<\/p>\n
If you (or a family member\/client) meet these conditions, please call our Homebound Vaccine Hotline at 610-260-0360, and leave a clear message with your NAME, PHONE NUMBER, and ADDRESS (please provide your contact information if scheduling on behalf of someone).<\/p>\n
Prompts on the Homebound Vaccine Hotline are in English and Spanish.<\/p>\n
It may take several days to receive a return call due to the volume of requests and time of your call.\u00a0 All qualifying residents will be scheduled based on the supply of vaccine.<\/p>\n
