Each week, thousands of Manatee County seniors pile into their cars and descend upon East County’s Tom Bennett Park to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.
Making those vaccinations possible have been dozens of workers from an array of organizations.
Here is a look at a few of the workers.
Johnny McKenzie
Johnny McKenzie grew up in Bradenton. In fact, his Boy Scout troop used to meet near Tom Bennett Park. Now, McKenzie works as an operations manager for the Florida Department of Health in Manatee County, which means overseeing maintenance and custodial crews or coordinating with contractors during renovations. He’s worked for the department for 16 years.
