All COVID-19 vaccine appointments filled for this week. DOH-Bay received a small supply of 2,000 vaccines in our initial shipment. 500 of those are allocated to our first responders.
Based on the current supplies we scheduled to our capacity of 100 appointments a day for Tuesday, January 5 – Friday, January 8 and 75 appointments every 2 hours on Saturday at our offsite event. Some of our supplies will also be used to vaccinate healthcare providers. Appointment availability is based on the number of available doses.
When additional vaccines are received, DOH-Bay will let the public know and open additional appointment slots. Please be patient as we are committed to get COVID-19 vaccines to our community.
Per the Governor’s Executive Order, the Florida Department of Health in Bay County will vaccinate seniors age 65 and older against COVID-19. The Moderna vaccine has recieved Emergency Use Authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA says it is effective at preventing COVID-19 and preventing serious illness if you do catch the virus. Some people may experience symptoms such as fever.
Please note, this initial allotment is very limited and additional appointments are based upon supplies.
