Vaccine clinic has 170+ openings
Despite a winter storm that delayed Taylor County’s 500-dose allotment of the COVID-19 vaccine, the local health department’s mass vaccination clinic set for today (Friday) at Forest Capital Hall is expected to go according to plan.
Icy roads and power outages across the country delayed some 200,000 Moderna vaccines scheduled to arrive in Florida on Tuesday, Feb. 16, forcing health departments across the state to cancel vaccine appointments.
However, the Taylor County Health Department (DOH-Taylor) had more than 300 unused doses from previous clinics available to give out today.
“Luckily, we are not having to call and cancel people. We have enough to cover both the first and second doses scheduled for today,” DOH-Taylor Operations Manager Martine Young said.

The news from the University of Florida this week has been increasingly encouraging, but unsettlingly incomplete. Basketball player Keyontae Johnson is making gradual improvement after his terrifying mid-game collapse last Saturday at Florida State.
