Immunize El Paso Receives $10,000 Grant to Support At-Home Vaccination for the Elderly

/in /by

In an inspiring show of community support, Immunize El Paso has been awarded a generous $10,000 grant from the Isla Carroll Turner Friendship Trust. This contribution will fund the “Flu2You” program, a unique initiative designed to bring essential vaccines directly to elderly individuals who may face challenges in visiting a clinic.

Keeping the Elderly Safe from Respiratory Illnesses

Vaccination is the most effective way to protect against serious illnesses like RSV, COVID-19, pneumonia, and the flu. These diseases can have severe consequences for the elderly, who are particularly vulnerable due to weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions. By vaccinating seniors in the comfort of their own homes, the Flu2You program aims to reduce these risks, offering life-saving protection for some of our community’s most vulnerable members.

ProAction Executive Director, Henry Brutus, expressed gratitude for the impact of the donation, saying, “The support of the Isla Carroll Turner Friendship Trust will help us save lives through the vaccination of the elderly community. We appreciate the trust they have put in us to fulfill the vaccination needs of this very special group of people.”
