Downtown Cedar Rapids will be host to a large, 24-hour COVID-19 vaccine clinic this weekend in an effort to reach populations that need flexible hours for scheduling a shot. The vaccine clinic will be hosted by Reutzel Pharmacy in collaboration with Linn County Public Health and the Iowa Pharmacy Association.
The effort to reach vulnerable populations in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout will include homeless populations for the first time in Cedar Rapids this week. Mercy Medical Center is partnering with local agencies to administer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to individuals experiencing homelessness at two vaccine clinics.
The Cedar Rapids NAACP hosted two vaccine clinics this week, reaching roughly 100 vulnerable residents. However, some individuals continued to express discomfort in the vaccine, even after they had received the shot, but had decided to set those concerns aside “for the greater good.”
