Abstract
- Homebound individuals face substantial barriers to receiving COVID-19 vaccines as they cannot or rarely leave their homes because of medical, psychiatric, cognitive, functional, transportation-related and social reasons. There are at least 75,000 Ontarians aged 65 years and above who are homebound, with the majority being women and people aged 85 years and above. Much of this older homebound population requires mobile in-home COVID-19 vaccination, which could be prioritized by residence in high SARS-CoV-2 risk neighbourhoods.
