Unit with bilingual attention
The Vaxmobile has been operational since March 2021, visiting community centers, senior centers, churches, high schools and other locations in communities such as Elmont, Uniondale, Hempstead, Freeport and Long Beach to bring shingles, pneumonia, flu and COVID vaccines, as well as a variety of vital health screenings, directly to residents.
This mobile, handicap-accessible unit is staffed by a bilingual clinical team from Mount Sinai South Nassau, including a nurse practitioner, licensed practical nurses or registered nurses, registration staff, and community health education professionals.
The primary mission of the mobile vaccination unit is to provide vital preventive health services, such as vaccines, directly to the communities served by the hospital.
