CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - MetroHealth System is making it easy for food and beverage workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
All they had to do was wake up and walk in.
Many workers in the food and service industry have Mondays off.
Which is one reason why MetroHealth is offering vaccinations at certain restaurants, including Farenheight in Tremont and here at Flying Fig in Ohio City.
“This is a continuation of how we’re trying to get the vaccine out into the community. In the early days of COVID, people would come to the hospital, and there were large crowds no we’re doing it like at Shaw High School and bars and restaurants,” said Mike Tobin, Vice President of Communications, Government & Community Relations at MetroHealth.

Jai Vier Robinson walked to the podium in front of the Shaw Stadium football field and glanced at the hundreds of people smiling in his direction.
Robinson, the quarterback of the Shaw High School s football team, was standing a few feet away from a flat spread of dirt with 10 shovels dug into it. Behind the dirt was the field, which had patches of grass grown several inches high and was in need of maintenance.
Robinson didn t want to look back at it. We had to play on that field. We had to practice, said Robinson, a junior. We didn t have water. (Our coach) would have to buy us water. We had no weight room, and we d lift weights on the field.
