The clinic that’s been canceled was originally scheduled to take place Thursday at Trinity United Methodist Church. People made the appointment for the second dose while receiving the first dose about four weeks ago. Moderna vaccine doses should generally be scheduled about four weeks apart, while Pfizer’s two doses should be scheduled about three weeks apart.
The health department is contacting the 572 people scheduled to receive their second Moderna dose Thursday to let them know about the cancelation.
Another clinic of first doses, which will be administered to older, vulnerable patients and staff at North Florida Regional Medical Center on Saturday, is not expected to be impacted by the delay.
While UF's positivity rate may look minimal, there are still about 50 to 70 cases a day, Dr. Michael Lauzardo, the head of UF Health’s Screen, Test and Protect program, said Friday at a Ben Hill Griffin stadium vaccination event.
Rather than unpacking orders of law enforcement equipment, wartime memorabilia, guns and knives as they have been for the past 36 years, Suzanne Miller and Olivia Cason are packing up boxes of their inventory as they prepare to retire and close the shop they’ve run since 1985.
Miller and Cason started M&C Army Surplus, 626 NW 13th St. in Gainesville, after they both worked at North Florida Regional Medical Center Miller as a registered nurse, and Cason as a bookkeeper.
One Christmas, Cason invited Miller, originally from Canada, to spend the holiday with her family and the two bonded over an interest in military equipment and history. Cason’s older brother had experience running army surplus stores, while Miller recounted that her father had been a World War II prisoner of war.
