Detroit to inoculate homebound residents in new COVID-19 vaccine push View Comments There is hope for Detroit's homebound residents who want to receive a COVID-19 vaccine thanks to a new push from the city to inoculate this population, with outreach starting Wednesday and continuing through the end of November and early December. The city health department is teaming up with area agencies for the vaccination program, with possibly 40,000 people in the community who may be homebound or in need of services, said Ron Taylor, president and CEO of the Detroit Area Agency on Aging. "There are tens of thousands of people in this city, perhaps the most vulnerable members of our community, who can't get out of their house to go to one of our vaccination sites; be it a mobile health site that Wayne Health runs or the many opportunities to get vaccinated through the efforts of the city of Detroit, and we need to do everything we can to reach these folks," said Phillip Levy, chief innovation officer of Wayne Health.
