Outreach center to vaccinate homeless community April 5, 2021 at 7:15 PM EDT - Updated April 5 at 7:15 PM
Tamika Manning says it’s almost difficult to describe how she feels after getting the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
“A relief… very much,” she said.
Manning says before a mobile vaccination site popped up outside of St. Ann Place, Monday morning, she didn’t know how she would be able to gain access to a COVID-19 vaccine. Manning is currently experiencing homelessness.
“Prior to today, I was skeptical about getting it,” she said.
“Our population has really suffered the most,” John Pescosolido said.
Pescosolido is the Executive Director of St. Ann Place, an outreach center for services to people experiencing homelessness.
