How to vaccinate a rural county? It starts with trust

An elderly client called Jefferson Public Health Department Supervisor Pam Hanna on May 18, asking for help registering for a vaccine appointment. The client mentioned that he “had trouble getting around,” so Hanna asked if she could just bring a vaccine to his home.

“He said, ‘Oh that would be wonderful,’” said Hanna.

Hanna said she sometimes feels like a character from the Netflix show “Call the Midwife,” where the characters ride their bicycles from door to door to help their community with medical issues. Except those women are on bicycles, “and we drive a Subaru,” Hanna joked.
