Shelters struggle to vaccinate Pittsburgh s homeless TEGHAN SIMONTON, Tribune-Review FacebookTwitterEmail PITTSBURGH (AP) Light of Life Rescue Mission had a vaccine clinic planned to help vaccinate homeless people earlier this month. The shelter, which operates short- and long-term programs for the homeless, as well as addiction recovery and employment assistance, planned to administer the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Then, about three hours before the April 13 event was supposed to start, news broke that use of the vaccine had been paused. The shelter quickly shifted gears and administered the Moderna vaccine instead, said Jerrel Gilliam, executive director. But the development altered Light of Life’s vaccine strategy, as clinicians had to inform patients, many of whom were had no housing, that they needed to return for a second dose.
