The Arc of Indiana continues to advocate for Hoosiers with disabilities during the pandemic nearly two years after COVID-19 first appeared in the state.
INDIANAPOLIS — Nearly two years ago, health officials reported their first case of COVID-19 in the Hoosier state.
"There has always been a lot anxiety and just questions through every aspect of COVID," Kim Dodson, the CEO of Arc of Indiana, said. According to a report by ABC News, hundreds to thousands of continue calls come in to the Disability Information and Access Line each week from this community with questions about COVID-19, vaccinations, testing spots and more.
She said the Indiana Department of Health reached out to them to be a part of the vaccine committee from early on, and they appreciate being involved in that effort. She added the Family and Social Services Administration worked with IDOH to get anyone receiving state services for a disability access to a Covid vaccine even quicker.
She also added many people in this community have spent the past two years feeling isolated and scared, and still in many cases do not have all the services open to them to the extent that they were before the pandemic.
