After vaccinating about 170 homeless people in the last three weeks, Cornell Scott Hill Health Center will be seeking out unsheltered people beginning this week, according to Jessica Arroyo, program manager for the center’s services to the homeless.

A clinic at Columbus House on Feb. 19 vaccinated 100 people, including 84 who were experiencing homelessness, she said. On March 4, another event saw 84 more homeless people vaccinated, this time with the easier-to-administer Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

“Columbus House was gracious to host for us,” Arroyo said. The shelter’s clients are staying at a city hotel so there is space at the shelter on Ella T. Grasso Boulevard to hold vaccination clinics, according to Executive Director Margaret Middleton.

Johnson & Johnson is easier to bring into the community, both because it doesn’t require storage in a special freezer and because it only requires one dose, Arroyo said.
