Homebound also need vaccines

I agree with your editorial April 7, "Don't leave seniors behind," but you left out one overlooked subgroup, the homebound. There are plans to vaccinate them in Chicago, but not in the suburbs of Cook County. I've called all my representatives. All agree it should be done. No one has made it happen. Homebound can have visits from doctors, therapists, nurses. They can have flu shots, blood drawn, EKGs and even chest X-rays, but no vaccine. How much longer must we wait?
