Leon County will host a free COVID-19 pop-up vaccination clinic from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.
Through a partnership between local government, COVID-19 task forces, and community health centers, the pop-up clinic will be at Truth Gatherers Dream Center Church, 1317 High Road.
The clinic will offer both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to all eligible adults with no appointment needed, a press release said.
Vaccines will be administered by healthcare experts from Bond Community Heath Center and Neighborhood Medical Center, the press release said. In the event of inclement weather, vaccinations will continue onsite in the church.
The event is supported in part by the Leon County Coronavirus Vaccination Community Education and Engagement Task Force, which has focused on reducing distrust of the COVID-19 vaccines in minority communities and distributing information about the vaccines.
The Leon County Health Department will relocate its COVID-19 vaccination site to the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center, effective Monday, May 3.
The relocation to an indoor site will help healthcare workers and residents going for a vaccination to avoid increasing seasonal temperatures, humidity and unpredictable thunderstorms.
The department says existing appointments for a COVID-19 vaccine will be honored at the new site.
“We know that through May and the summer months, the weather will be getting too warm for our staff, volunteers, and partners to be safely outside while our patients are in their cars,” Leon Health Officer Claudia Blackburn said in a statement.
Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare announced on Tuesday the hospital has administered or distributed more than 100,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. This has been no small feat, the hospital wrote online. Thank you to every colleague, provider, volunteer and community partner that has made this possible.
