Volunteers offer food boxes and vaccines in Iowa City

Volunteers offer food boxes and vaccines in Iowa City Unmute IOWA CITY, Iowa (KWWL) - County leaders and a team of volunteers gave away boxes of nutritious food to people in need Thursday and offered them a COVID-19 vaccine. We wanted to open it up for people to come forward and get the shot. I didn t want anyone turned away, County Supervisor Royceann Porter said. Porter organized the event as a food giveaway at first, but with vaccines becoming more readily available, she decided to double it as a vaccine clinic. I went downstairs and talked to Sam Jarvis (community health manager for Johnson County) and asked him if we could do a vaccine clinic, Porter said.

The advisory panel stated that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks. The CDC and FDA recommended a pause in the administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on April 13 following reports of rare blood clots in six women nationally. Nine more cases were reported, for a total of 15. According to the CDC, the overall rate of events was 1.9 cases per million people. “In terms of benefits, we found that for every 1 million doses of this vaccine, the J&J vaccine could prevent over 650 hospitalizations and 12 deaths among women aged 18-49, and this vaccine could prevent over 4,700 hospitalizations and nearly 600 deaths among women over 50,” CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said.

COVID vaccine clinic set up at Iowa City church as county expands effort

After the morning church services Sunday, people in scrubs showed up at Resurrection Assembly of God in Iowa City for a popup vaccine clinic. The church, which serves a large immigrant population, is part of a broad outreach approach as Johnson County tries to vaccinate its residents. Joseph Lear has been Resurrection Assembly of God s pastor for five years. He said Resurrection is a church for the poor and has positioned itself as a resource for people in need. Being bilingual in a west African dialect of French, part of his work is helping recently arrived residents navigating immigration check-ins and even applying for nutrition services. When the county asked Lear if the church would be a partner site for distributing vaccinations, he saw that as an extension of his outreach.
