I am a 64yo terminal heart patient and I’ve received my first shot. I have a caregiver that has been taking of my family for just under 21 years. I have been calling all the numbers I have for the Escambia county health dept. as well as my doctors and the covid hot line and am getting nowhere. What good did it do to get the shot and not be able to get his. He does all my shopping picking up my meds, Takes me to all 5 of my doctors appointments.
If he gets it and brings it home it will Definitely end my life with the heart problems as well as COPD and the list continues. WHAT DO I DO??? Keep him inside until his age group comes up? He’s 39 YEARS OLD…
