GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — There’s a new effort in Gaston County to make sure everyone who is eligible can get vaccinated, even those who can’t leave their homes.
EMS crews in the county are delivering shots right to people’s front doors. They have 1,200 doses to give out by Sunday.
They rely on referrals from churches, charities and social services to identify those who are least likely to get to mass vaccination clinics.
>>In the video at the top of the page, Channel 9′s Gaston County bureau reporter Ken Lemon gets a first-hand look at the hand deliveries that are changing lives.
