Starting next week, the Florida Department of Health in Baker county will begin COVID-19 vaccinations for residents over the age of 65, the agency confirmed to News4Jax.
The COVID-19 vaccine is currently being given to health care workers and first responders, said Jordan Duncan, community health nursing director for the health department.
Duncan said the county health department’s current supply is an “appropriate” amount for frontline health care workers and a good start for Baker County’s senior residents.
“I feel comfortable with what we’re receiving,” said Duncan, who added there’s no word yet on when the county will receive its next shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine.
As the Baker County Press reports, those with appointments must bring some form of personal identification and should expect the process to last 20-30 minutes.
