MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The City of Memphis is in the middle of planning how to get more vaccines out to people experiencing homelessness and the homebound population.
Memphis’ Community Alliance for the Homeless said more than 1,000 people at one time were experiencing homelessness in Shelby County in 2020. While more vaccination appointments are opening up to people in Shelby County, the city is working to vaccinate those who may be harder to reach.
