COLUMBUS, Ohio — In the cold Ohio winter, homeless shelters start to see more and more people looking for a place to stay.
Places like the Van Buren Center in Columbus take all the necessary precautions against COVID-19: Social distancing, sanitizing and masks. But nothing works quite like a vaccine.
“You’ve got staff members, front line workers, who are helping keep people safe in congregant settings,” says Sara Loken, Community Relations Director for the Community Shelter Board. “We really need to vaccinate these folks, both the people who work in these facilities and the people who live temporarily in these facilities. The same way we’re vaccinating health care workers and people living in health care facilities.”
