“This location makes access easier for our BVL community and I hope residents take full advantage, especially members of our Hispanic community,” Osceola Commissioner Viviana Janer said in a news release. “Statistics show that Hispanics in Osceola are about half as likely to have been vaccinated and we must do better if we to make progress against the virus.”
The free walk-up site has the capacity to do 200 shots a day and will be run in partnership with Curative along with the Florida Department of Health in Osceola County and the county’s office of emergency management.
Appointments are not necessary.
