CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - As of Feb. 19, the homeless are not included in Ohio’s vaccination plan, even though those living in shelters are at very high risk for contracting the virus.
It took a partnership to bring the first doses of the vaccine to the largest homeless shelter in the state.
MetroHealth’s family medicine department has been coming to the 2100 Lakeside homeless shelter for 11 months to educate the homeless community about COVID-19.
