Mobile Health Launches Traveling COVID-19 Vaccination Vans to Protect Vulnerable Populations

NEW YORK, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- To expand COVID-19 vaccinations into hard-to-reach settings, Mobile Health will deploy a traveling five-van fleet of mobile vaccinators.

The occupational health provider's mobile units will administer COVID-19 vaccines to residents in vulnerable populations across the United States. The initiative will simplify vaccinations for individuals who may lack transportation or the technology to secure an appointment.

"As vaccine administration rates continue to stall, we're shifting from 'arms coming to shots to now shots coming to arms.' This will make it much easier to vaccinate homebound and vulnerable populations who may not have access or transportation to secure an appointment," said Andrew Shulman, Mobile Health Chief Executive Officer.

The vans will be staffed with nurses who will administer vaccinations, Shulman said.

NYC-based Mobile Health has been an innovator on the COVID-19 vaccination front, designing and managing vaccination sites for the State of Virginia, the NY Metropolitan Transportation Authority (NY-MTA), Nassau County, NY, and home healthcare workers.

Return to Mobile Roots

On-site mobile health services are not new to Mobile Health. The occupational health provider began in New York City in 1984 with a single vehicle that delivered health screenings to home health agencies. "I can't think of a better tribute to our mobile origins than to get back on the road and vaccinate hard-to-reach communities," said Shulman.

Today, Mobile Health's nationwide foot-print spans 4,500+ locations. "This pandemic has driven home the importance of on-site delivery of care. We will continue to innovate and grow our nationwide network of clinics, including our mobile fleet," said Shulman.
