Sign up if you’re interested in administering in-home vaccinations to our most vulnerable population in New York.
As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available to more and more New Yorkers, it is essential that we find ways to vaccinate New York’s elderly population. New York’s 3.2 million elderly may find it difficult or unsafe to leave their home and travel to a vaccination site.
As part of our Vaccine Drive, Ro aims to vaccinate vulnerable New Yorkers from the safety of their homes—at no cost to them.
