/ The Disabled Rights Action Committee and two other organizations are hosting vaccine clinics for people with disabilities.
Jim Rounds has only left his house about once a month since the pandemic started. He has multiple sclerosis and takes medication that suppresses his immune system.
“It’s deeply traumatic to live in terror just for a long, long period of time,” Rounds said. “That is roughly the situation I feel I’ve been in. Just being frightened of any kind of exposure to disease.”
At the end of February, Utah made COVID-19 vaccines available to people ages 16 and older with underlying medical conditions. Rounds got his first dose at the beginning of March and said he’s still trying to process what that means for him.
