Is there any kind of provision to vaccinate elderly adults who are homebound (meaning someone comes to their homes to vaccinate them) within L.A.?

Isn't the vaccine only for teachers, doctors, and the rich at this stage?

What kind of vaccine do they use in LA?
Is it Phizer that was mortal to those who were older in Norway?

I believe in California they are vaccinating adults above 65 (and for sure above 75) which is what I am referring to.

California is a big place. I heard on the radio again just yesterday that in Los Angeles County, the vaccine is only being given to health care workers and assisted-living facility residents at this time.

Well still ow, but worrisome for sure.


Norwegian Medicines Agency said in a written response to Bloomberg on Saturday.
There are 13 deaths that have been assessed, and we are aware of another 16 deaths that are currently being assessed,” the agency said. All the reported deaths related to “elderly people with serious basic disorders,” it said. “Most people have experienced the expected side effects of the vaccine, such as nausea and vomiting, fever, local reactions at the injection site, and worsening of their underlying condition.”

What about homebound elderly residents who live in L.A.?

The vaccine kills weak people.

If a person can't even walk to a place of vaccination, shouldn't she stay away from it?

I have not heard anything about nurses making home visits at this time.

How does the elderly person in question see a doctor (assuming no Covid)?

It seems that they will have to find someone to drive them to Dodgers Stadium

This person was hospitalized twice due to a mild heart attack at the beginning of pandemic. Since then I was told it was arranged for them to consult a doctor via the internet (Telemedicine, I assume). Now they simply don't leave home (where they live alone) at all but I assume that it would be possible for someone to take them to the doctor as long as they don't have to physically stand in line for any lengthy period.
