Digital First: Senior Citizens to Get Free Ride on NRoute for Vaccinations

WJTV-12 reports that seniors and disabled people in Vicksburg, Miss., can get a free ride to COVID-19 vaccination appointments through NRoute public transit, with the Board of Mayor and Alderman having approved a plan to pay the delivery service $4 per person to cover the cost. Leaders with NRoute said seniors desiring vaccination should notify the service at least five days ahead to be added to the schedule. Due to guidelines on COVID-19 from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the transportation system will likely use its vans, and only two passengers will be allowed to ride at a time. No date has thus far been set for the service to start.
