York County is working to administer doses to the people who are homeless, but but are having trouble getting them to the clinic.

“I just wanted the opportunity to go ahead and get my shot because I just didn’t want to get sick,” said Brian Cauthen, a community member.

Local homeless centers and churches are being encouraged to help the homeless community get vaccines.
