For
teens Ava and Lily Weinstein, sisters from Roslyn Estates, technology
comes easy - but for their grandparents and many other senior citizens, it can
be a challenge.
After
their grandparents had a difficult time registering online for a COVID-19
vaccine appointment they decided to jump in and help.
The
girls admit it even took them a few days to figure out the system, but once
they did, they decided to help out more seniors in the community. They handed
out flyers and have heard back from at least 20 people.
However,
a lack of vaccine availability has required them to put those seniors on
a waiting list.
"We
can take peoples’ names. We can call them back. We're willing to put everyone's
names down on the waitlist until the vaccine is back in," says Lily.
Anyone
who wishes to contact the girls for application help can do so
on their
website.
