Homeless Voice vaccinate homeless against H1N1
By Rich Phillips, CNN
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (CNN) -- Sean Cononie bounded out of the back of an ambulance ahead of most of the other volunteers. A bullhorn in his hand, he was, in a sense, the pied piper.
"If there's anybody out here, that wants the swine flu vaccine, please come over here," he said.
And come they did.
A shot in the arm for the homeless
Robert Kelso winced as the needle entered his arm. The injection lasted a second, but he still felt the sting minutes later.
"It's been a long time since I've had a shot," he said.
A recovering drug addict, Kelso, 33, has avoided needles for three years, saying his days of shooting up are the reason he now lives on the streets.
