LARGO, Fla. â Pinellas County has opened its largest COVID-19 vaccine site, which is set to administer 10,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccination a week to those above age 65.
The new site opened Tuesday at 1197 E Bay Drive in Largo. Thatâs at the intersection of Highland Avenue N and E Bay Drive. It will be by appointment only.
With the new site up and running, in addition to four other community sites, Pinellas County will be able to vaccinate a total of 19,000 people per week. Thatâs, of course, dependent on the county receiving ample vaccines quantities from the state.
