PALMETTO, Fla. - There s a new COVID-19 vaccination site set up behind the Palmetto bus stop. The site is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The county s vaccination rate is currently at 54%; that s 193,000 residents who have been vaccinated. We still have a way to go to reach the 70 percent we need to achieve herd immunity and make sure we have the disease fully under control, said Dr. Benice with the Fl.

To build up vaccine confidence, the Florida Department of Health in Manatee County hired a vaccine hesitancy consultant to reach people who are having second thoughts.
