The site will be operated by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the Florida Department of Health – Leon County, will initially administer up to 200 vaccines daily seven days per week to people who belong to eligible groups. Plans are being finalized and the kickoff date will be known in the coming days, University and state officials said.
The site is being opened as the state seeks to ramp up vaccine operations and combat growing vaccine hesitancy and skepticism among African Americans and other communities of color.
