Harvest House Atlantic in Moncton held the first of five vaccine clinics last month.Moncti
Deputy Executive Director Marc Belliveau says about 40 per cent of the residents chose to be vaccinated.
He says just to have the vaccine available was a big step, and put some minds at ease, “Also understand, not everyone wanted to receive it. It is no different in a shelter environment or a homeless community as it is in a general population, either misinformation or not having enough information, people wanting to just sit back and wait, see how different trials work before jumping in.”
Over 100 people were vaccinated in just over an hour.
