A Lexington woman was one of the first people vaccinated at home through Wake Forest Baptist Health s House Call Program.
Ruth Everhart, 92, received her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Feb. 11 at her home in Lexington.
The House Call Program provides home care to older patients who have trouble leaving their homes due to physical or cognitive limitations, according to a press release from Wake Forest Baptist Health.
Recently, the hospital began offering the COVID-19 vaccine to these patients who are 65 and older. Their caregivers will also be able to receive the vaccine if enough doses are available.
