FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – Health care workers who were told they can’t get the COVID-19 vaccine because they aren’t affiliated with or employed by a hospital system were able to receive their first shots of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at a special event in Flagler County.
Ann Scott and Michelle Nye said they now have peace of mind after getting their first doses.
“So much better. I’m psyched! It’s a really great thing,” Scott said.

In a normal school year, Florida Department of Health-Flagler Nursing Specialist Stephanie Ear helps manage student vaccination efforts, makes sure children are checked for conditions like scoliosis, teaches school staff how to administer emergency medications and helps ensure school clinics are running smoothly.
But this year, she s been tasked with managing the health department s effort to keep COVID-19 from spreading through the school system. Now, everything is about COVID, she said. A lot of case investigation, a lot of receiving concerns.
