Tennessee Home Vaccinations
The in-home Covid-19 vaccine program has undergone some changes due to some people having experienced long delays in getting the vaccine. Due to the changes, seniors over the age of 60 are no longer eligible for the program based on age alone.
The key program changes are:
- Seniors no longer qualify based on age alone. To qualify you must be a Tennessean with a disability over 18 or any family or caregiver in their household.
- The program is available in 87/95 counties. They don't have home health providers available in the Chattanooga area. However, they're working on it.
- Rather than the Tennessee Disability Coalition or our partners filling out online forms, everyone is referred to Disability Rights Tennessee's main intake number. They have staff trained and ready to connect folks.
- The Disability Rights Tennessee phone number is 1-800-342-1660. Hablamos Español.
No proof of disability or citizenship is needed. Callers’ information will only be used to schedule the vaccine appointment. Information will not be shared for any other reason.
