Health Departments move COVID-19 vaccinations to offsite clinics
Community, Press Release February 2, 2021
GAINESVILLE – To maximize efficiency for vaccine delivery, District 2 Public Health Departments have coordinated with our community partners to locate COVID-19 vaccine clinics to larger spaces. “This move will allow our staff to provide both first and second doses at one location,” said Zachary Taylor, M.D., District Health Director. “Having a larger space than the health departments will also give us the flexibility to vaccinate more people each day, especially when the vaccine becomes more readily available.” Appointments will still be required to get vaccinated at the new clinic sites.
Essential services such as immunizations for school, women’s health services, and communicable disease services will be available at the health departments.
