Project Description:

Project to expand access to COVID-19 vaccines. The funding is made available to all Aging and Disability Resource Centers-No Wrong Door recipients of social isolation projects. Expansion funded project is a partnership between CDC and ACL to support activities related to vaccine access, such as scheduling vaccine appointments, transportation to vaccine sites, direct support services needed to attend vaccine appointments, connection to in-home vaccination options, and providing education to older adults and people with disabilities about the importance of receiving the vaccine. In addition, these awards will enable the aging and disability networks to identify people who are unable to independently travel to vaccination sites and to provide technical assistance to local health departments on improving access to vaccines for people with disabilities and older adults.
