The Jacksonville Housing Authority announced two dates for a COVID-19 vaccination drive, a new option to serve the city s low-income residents in the continuing effort to defeat the coronavirus pandemic.
The JHA plans to administer 500 COVID-19 vaccine doses as part of a partnership with Agape Family Health. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday at Centennial Towers senior center, 230 East First Street, in the Springfield neighborhood.
Agape has also set a second vaccination date for Thursday, March 25, at Hogan Creek Towers, just north of downtown.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Housing Authority officials said Monday that state contractor Agape Family Health will hold vaccination clinics this month at two of its senior high-rises.
The announcement came after JHA revealed last week that the state did not schedule any vaccination clinics at the authority’s four senior apartment complexes during a two-week effort to vaccinate the most vulnerable in low-income government housing.
JHA rents to more than 700 seniors, many of whom lack transportation and are too ill to travel.
Officials plan to vaccinate 500 people at senior high-rise Centennial Towers from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 19, and the next clinic will be at Hogan Creek Towers on March 25. Hogan Creek Towers houses both seniors and people with disabilities.
