JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Housing Authority officials said Monday that state contractor Agape Family Health will hold vaccination clinics this month at two of its senior high-rises.
The announcement came after JHA revealed last week that the state did not schedule any vaccination clinics at the authority’s four senior apartment complexes during a two-week effort to vaccinate the most vulnerable in low-income government housing.
JHA rents to more than 700 seniors, many of whom lack transportation and are too ill to travel.
Officials plan to vaccinate 500 people at senior high-rise Centennial Towers from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 19, and the next clinic will be at Hogan Creek Towers on March 25. Hogan Creek Towers houses both seniors and people with disabilities.
