Gramps owner, Adam Gersten tells
New Times that the idea behind the vaccination day was to help hospitality workers in the Wynwood/Midtown area get a vaccine by bringing the site to a hospitality center. He says he contacted Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava s office with the idea. I reached out to the mayor to see who was in charge of the vaccine pop-up sites. From there I was directed to discuss logistics with the fire department. I m thankful that they responded in a positive manner and that the fire department was so cool about it.
The only thing that would have made it better from Gersten s point of view is if the vaccine day had come sooner.
