Hillsborough County is no longer taking vaccine appointments but says more is on the way. (Carly Baldwin/Patch)
TAMPA, FL Appointments for the coronavirus vaccine are no longer available at this time for residents age 65 and older in Hillsborough County.
Appointment availability is based on the supply of vaccine provided by the state of Florida. The county expects to be able to offer additional appointments next week. Residents can visit the website for additional information and updates.
Hillsborough has about 9,000 vaccine doses that will be distributed to residents 65 and older between Wednesday and Saturday of this week. Demand for those appointments has been high.
A $1,500 grant from the St. Paulâs United Church of Christ conference was intended to be for the congregation at the 202 W. Union St., Somerset, site to help provide for children and families, alongside a group called Love for the World.
Love fore the World is made of local churches and community members.
Then the pandemic happened. Schools closed. Students set up classrooms in their homes. Many businesses shut down. It became a challenging time for many.
The quandary: What to do with the grant money?
The funds had been earmarked to help the children and their families by providing backpacks and school supplies.
