Sacred Heart Academy Students Offer Help Making Vaccine Appointments to Older Adults

WHAS 11 News reports that two Sacred Heart Academy students are helping older adults schedule COVID-19 vaccination appointments in Kentucky's Jefferson County. Jacqueline Teague and Amelie Beck have so far helped 250 seniors get vaccine appointments. "We realized how hard it was to navigate the Internet and the whole process of getting the appointments," Beck said. Teague explained that they are "guiding people through the process. Most people need a prompt and to know where to go, and that's pretty much mostly what we do, is giving people the tools to go to the next step." Beck added that "a lot of these people will e-mail us and say they have been trying to weeks and if they're just given the steps to go through, it doesn't take them too long and they're just really happy to get it."
