The COVID-19 vaccine is coming into Florida neighborhoods; and transit is bringing it. Buses from the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) are being used as mobile vaccination sites, traveling into communities in a program known as Wellness on Wheels.
The project is a partnership among JTA, the Jacksonville Housing Authority and Agape Family Health, a nonprofit health center.
