Nassau County Sets Up Hotline to Help Seniors Make COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments

WCBS Newsradio 880 reports that seniors in Nassau County, N.Y., can now set up COVID-19 vaccination appointments through a new county hotline. "We heard frustration loud and clear from seniors, and family members of seniors, who don't have access to technology, who don't have the time to sit and refresh their browser all the time, and were having a very hard time making an appointment for a vaccine," said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. "So, as we say, our goal is to let everyone have a shot at getting a shot, especially our vulnerable communities, and we know that the seniors are the most vulnerable to this virus." Starting Thursday, seniors can get assistance scheduling a vaccine appointment by calling the 516-227-9590 hotline.
