The Opera House and the Jefferson County Courthouse in Monticello, Fla., are at the center of its historic downtown.
To get a COVID-19 vaccine, seniors in many counties across the state must set their appointments online. But some rural health departments in the Panhandle are taking a low-tech approach to scheduling.
“We don’t have the capability at this point of doing anything online, said Pam Beck, public information officer at the Florida Department of Health in Jefferson County. We’re willing to get to that point, but we don’t have that capability yet.”
Other departments in the state, including those in Bay and Leon Counties, have urged seniors to request an appointment online. Bay County DOH is using the ticket-selling website Eventbrite. Meanwhile departments in rural counties, including Jackson, Holmes, Washington, Calhoun and Liberty, have been scheduling people only by phone.
