Frank Galloway falls into the most vulnerable categories for COVID-19: He is 87, he is Black, and he is experiencing homelessness.
“It ain’t no joke,” Galloway said of the coronavirus, which has killed some of his friends in Greensboro, North Carolina. “I don t mind taking something that will help my life to keep going.”
He’s waiting for a vaccine while staying in an emergency shelter. Although the state began vaccinating people age 65 and up in mid-January, Galloway, like many others without housing, doesn’t have access to the technology and transportation that people in many places need to get a shot.

It s been about a month since those experiencing homelessness started getting vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Dr. Jim O Connell, president of the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, said his organization has vaccinated about 1,800 people since the vaccine became available. That includes those experiencing homelessness in shelters and shelter staff.
O Connell said there s been good buy-in from shelter residents, but the challenge becomes accessing and getting buy-in from those living on city streets. He said BHCHP has a van that they plan to use to store doses as they drive to areas in the city where they know people live and sleep to get them vaccinated.
