Wanda Smythe (Under the direction of One Road Many Paths, NFP) is working to 'pair professionals' to help solve the Covid-19 battle; specifically through the talents of trained and certified plembotomists working together to either pair or support both standard visits for draws AND looking to introduce in-home vaccinations focusing on the in-home and senior communities, through the advances allowed through the minimal to no-refrigeration required by the Johnson and Johnson (J&J) vaccine.
​
As the use of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have not been approved for in-home vaccination this is not yet of consideration; and given the expectations of the rollout; not likely thus all things considered for these situations and in keeping with all that is allowable choice; this action must be done in accordance with WHO/CDC and standard medical guidelines at all times.

Physicians say relying on these health professionals is exactly the right way to get the vaccines administered. “I’ve given exactly one vaccine in my career, so you wouldn’t want it from me,” Amesh Adalja, MD, senior scholar at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Health Security, tells Verywell. “People getting the vaccine should feel very confident in the professionals administering them who have been trained to give the shots.”
