In a press release, it was revealed that the 'Vulnerable Patient Navigator' team (VPN), assembled by Essex-Windsor EMS, have already administered doses to 44 residents of an apartment building on March 12.

The patients, all of whom were 80 and over, had pre-registered to receive doses at mass vaccination clinics.

VPN members are currently still working their way through the apartment building. Once completed, they plan on making more at-home visits.
