“At this point in time, the entire process takes place from within your vehicle under large tents,” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord.
While the State of Florida – through its Department of Health-Flagler – is responsible for vaccination appointments and administration, the county continues to provide logistical and public information support.
Appointments are currently limited to those 65 and older as well as health care workers who have contact with patients. Those with an appointment will stay inside their car and follow the directions of the signs.
Drivers will be directed through the following stations:
- Appointment verification and paperwork provision.
- Paperwork signature and medical review.
- Vaccination (shot) administration. Appointments for second doses will also be provided at this time.
- Waiting area – recipients will be monitored for at least 15 minutes to ensure there are no adverse reactions.
According to officials, the entire process can typically take under one hour from the scheduled appointment time.
