"The clinics at DOH-St. Lucie are a convenient way to protect yourself and loved ones against COVID-19," said Nicole Rodriguez, DOH-St. Lucie spokesperson. It’s also an opportunity for parents to have their children ages 12 or older protected against this highly contagious virus." DOH-St. Lucie urges the community to get vaccinated as a tool to end the pandemic, Rodriguez added. "The department also encourages those who have been vaccinated to continue to follow the CDC guidelines, so our community can resume life as normal again," she said.
