Event 01 of 03

Community Forum

These virtual presentations will discuss the latest information about the COVID-19 and flu vaccines. You may be wondering what has changed since the vaccines first came out or what vaccines mean for those with chronic illnesses. Community leaders and health experts will present known facts and encourage viewers to ask questions.

Event 01 of 02

Mobile Health Clinic

We know that receiving the vaccine can be a challenge if you are facing barriers such as transportation or work conflicts. Our team is dedicated to adapting to these obstacles and providing COVID-19 and flu vaccine resources to rural residents. The University of Florida and Florida A&M University Extension are sponsoring mobile vaccination clinics that will come to your communities to make it easier to get vaccinated.
