Coronavirus vaccine brings relief to Utah homeless hospice

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — While no one living at a Salt Lake City hospice center for homeless people has tested positive for COVID-19, the vaccine’s arrival has provided a new sense of relief. The Salt Lake Tribune reported that staff and medically fragile residents at the medical respite center began receiving coronavirus vaccines Saturday. Utah is giving shots to residents and staff at long-term care facilities in its first vaccination phase, which also includes health care workers, first responders and teachers. None of the INN Between’s residents have contracted the virus, to the relief of its directors, who have watched outbreaks devastate many care facilities.
