Homebound Residents in Cass County Asked to Contact FCPH for COVID Vaccines

(Fargo, ND) -- Cass County residents who are homebound and therefore unable to obtain COVID-19 vaccine through their provider, a pharmacy, or other vaccine clinic are encouraged to contact Fargo Cass Public Health to inquire about access to vaccine through one of the FCPH mobile missions.

“We know there are members of our community who, for a variety of reasons, are not able to leave their home to receive the COVID-19 vaccine," says Suzanne Schaefer, FCPH Director of Nursing. "Our mobile vaccine mission may be a good fit for those individuals, so we’re inviting them to contact us to explore that option.”

In an effort to make COVID-19 vaccine more accessible to members of the community, FCPH has implemented a number of mobile missions, which bring vaccine to individuals who are not able to attend an on-site clinic. Currently, FCPH is working through referrals from healthcare providers and other area partners to administer vaccine to individuals who are homebound but would like to make more of the community aware of this option.

Individuals and/or caregivers who would like to learn more are invited to contact FCPH at (701) 298-6951 for additional information and to complete the screening process.
