TOLEDO, Ohio — Those with mental health or substance use disorders may not have easy access to getting the COVID vaccine.
To help, the Toledo Clinic and Mental Health Recovery Services Board of Lucas County held a closed pod clinic on Saturday. Patients received the Moderna vaccine.
"We wanted to offer our facilities so that the Wernert Center and other volunteers could come in and some of the patients may know in order for them to feel comfortable," said Dr. Eric Thompson, Director of Pharmacy at The Toledo Clinic.
The vaccine clinic was walk-in style for people to come at their convenience rather than having to schedule appointments.
