These individuals require either: 1. Ambulance or two-person assistance to leave the home, or 2. Are not able to leave the home for medical appointments under normal circumstances, or 3. Have considerable difficulty and/or require significant support to leave the home for medical appointments. How to Connect with the Massachusetts Homebound Vaccination Program Organizations who support individuals who are homebound and may require an in-home vaccination may be referred to the State Homebound Vaccination Central Intake Line, operated by MassOptions, to be screened for appropriateness for an in-home vaccine and connected to resources to schedule a vaccination.
