Florida Health Pinellas County issued the following announcement on August 30.
DOH-Pinellas Outreach Vaccine Calendar, Week Of Aug. 30 To Sept. 4
EMPLOYERS CAN REQUEST CLINICS AT THEIR WORKSITES FOR STAFF
As the number of positive COVID-19 cases continue to rise, vaccines remain the single most effective weapon against the virus.
To make getting your COVID-19 vaccine more convenient, the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County (DOH-Pinellas) sends its outreach team to community locations several times a week.
Outreach events this week are at large and small employers offering their staff the convenience of a COVID-19 vaccine at the workplace.
If your business would like DOH-Pinellas to set up a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at your location, complete the Survey Monkey request at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PinellasVaccineEvent and our staff will contact you.
The Pfizer vaccine has received full approval from the Food & Drug Administration for those ages 16 and older; it is under emergency authorization for those ages 12 to 15 years of age. Outreach events are open to the public without an appointment. As always, vaccines are provided at no cost.
Here are some upcoming outreach events to take advantage of next week with a $20 food voucher as a thank-you gift for all who are vaccinated:
- Tuesday, Aug. 31: City of Largo, 120 Central Park Dr., Largo, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Wednesday, Sept. 1: Outdoor vaccines at 200 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Other outreach events this week will be at small employers.
