Inmates at the Brevard County Jail have been offered COVID-19 vaccinations, officials told FLORIDA TODAY Tuesday. We conducted an outreach at the jail on April 28 with the Moderna vaccine. 370 inmates and deputies were vaccinated, Assistant County Health Department Director Anita Stremmel wrote in an email. Information on how many doses were offered to deputies versus inmates was not available. We didn’t break it down. We will return for 2nd doses. We don’t have plans at this time for a second 1st dose outreach, Stremmel said.
The Brevard County Jail s inmate population Tuesday was 1548. The number of Brevard Sheriff s Office sworn deputies at the jail is 270. The number of civilian employees at the jail is not clear but the BCSO employs 446 civilians excluding dispatch.
