People that are homebound face a major challenge in getting the COVID-19 vaccine, as there is currently no way to administer shots to people who are constrained to their homes.
Roanoke City and non-profit Casa Latina are providing information about the COVID-19 vaccine in Spanish to local Latino communities and encouraging people to get signed up for the shot.
Statewide, Virginia’s homeless have been identified as a priority for vaccines, but only when they step into congregate facilities like Roanoke's Rescue Mission.
Strike teams are going into Roanoke neighborhoods to provide people with information about the COVID-19 vaccine. Now new grant funding is helping with those outreach efforts.
