LITTLE ROCK, Ark. The COVID-19 vaccine is widely available across the state, but not everyone can get it.
This is why the Arkansas Department of Health and pharmacies are coming together to give shots to the homebound.
Dr. Jennifer Dillaha with the department of health said they started reaching out to this population about three weeks ago. It needed to happen. They ve been on our radar screen from the very beginning, she said.
Not everyone can get in their car and drive over to a vaccination site, so Dillaha said the health department and local pharmacies are bringing the shots to them.
