JenCare Senior Medical Center Administering COVID-19 Vaccines

WHO: Some 200 at-risk New Orleans seniors ages 70 years and older, or on dialysis as prioritized by Louisiana Department of Health, are scheduled to receive COVID-19 vaccines from JenCare Senior Medical Center doctors, nurses and care team members. Many are willing to be interviewed and/or shown on camera before, during and/or after the first doses of the vaccine are safely administered.*

WHAT: Impactful images of and commentary about the COVID-19 vaccinations that are poised to give area elderly their lives back.
