Across Illinois, organizations and volunteers alike have stepped up to help older adults get vaccinated. They’ve scheduled appointments, arranged rides and even lined up nurses to visit and vaccinate homebound residents in their homes. This episode features the efforts of two of those groups, Vaccine Buddies – a volunteer group of “good humans” from Naperville—and AgeSmart, a senior advocacy organization from the East St. Louis area.
