JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Starting on Sunday, more people in Jacksonville will have the opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
St. Matthew Baptist Church in Jacksonville’s Moncrief neighborhood will administer 500 doses of the vaccine starting Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
The only requirement is to be 65 and older, said Pastor George Price, minister at St. Matthew Baptist Church.
“The state has promised us 500 doses,” Price said.
For those who get the first dose at the church, they will be given an appointment to come back to the same location in 28 days to get their second dose.

A few steps into the James Graham Mortuary, on a table beneath a wall covered with framed certificates, next to “Our Daily Bread” bulletins, there’s a large jug with a hand pump and a sign that says: “Sanitizing Station.”
On the other side of the entryway, on another table, there’s a framed message that was here long before this year. It says: “James, Trust Me, I Have Everything Under Control. Jesus.”
The family that owns and operates this mortuary still believes this, even after all that happened in 2020 A.D. But they also believe in measures to control COVID-19. As mourners walk down the hall past a chapel used for services, signs remind them to wear masks. And when they reach the door of a second chapel used for viewings, another sign signs: “Although we all long for the coming day when this sign isn’t necessary … PLEASE CONTINUE TO REFRAIN FROM HUGGING AND HANDSHAKING.”
