Here at BCHIP, we go to great lengths to ensure that all Bucks County residents have proper healthcare. That commitment includes access to vaccines. After all, vaccines are a cornerstone of our healthcare system and are instrumental in keeping our entire community safe.
A while back, we learned that our homebound residents often find it difficult to receive routine medical care like vaccines. This makes sense, as they are often juggling other pressing healthcare needs. It is no wonder that keeping up to date on one’s vaccinations can easily slip through the cracks given those other priorities.
This is why we created a vaccine program for homebound residents in Bucks County.
While many vaccines are only given to children and adolescents, some vaccines are very important for senior citizens or persons with certain health conditions.
Our homebound vaccine program covers the common adult vaccines including influenza, COVID-19, shingles, RSV, and the pneumonia vaccine, which is a recent addition to our homebound vaccines program.
The CDC provides immunization schedules by age and medical condition. Review the tables with your medical provider to determine if any of the vaccines available for adults are right for you:
- Vaccines in the Adult Immunization Schedule by Age
- Vaccines in the Adult Immunization Schedule by Medical Condition
BCHIP has partnered with Eric’s RX Shoppe to provide you or your homebound loved one with friendly, compassionate, and efficient homebound vaccine service. They are available to work around your schedule.
Once you have determined your vaccination needs, contact us to schedule your appointment at 267-291-7882 or email rconnor@bchip.org. Insurance is required for home vaccine appointments. If you are unsure whether you are covered, contact your insurance company. If you need access to affordable health insurance, please contact the Bucks County Hub.
BCHIP stands for Bucks County Health Improvement Partnership. We are an association of healthcare and government organizations working together to improve the health of all Bucks County residents. BCHIP member organizations include the Bucks County Department of Health, the Bucks County Medical Society, and the six major Bucks County hospitals: Doylestown Health, Grand View Health, Jefferson Bucks Hospital, Lower Bucks Hospital, St. Luke’s University Upper Bucks Campus, and St. Mary Medical Center.
