TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â The Florida Department of Health in Leon County (DOH Leon) is relocating its COVID-19 vaccination site to an indoor location at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center on May 3.
According to Leon DOH, the vaccination site was moved to a fully climate-controlled location due to increasing seasonal temperatures, humidity and thunderstorms.
Since the beginning of the vaccine rollout, the Leon DOH had been holding drive-thru clinics at their 2965 Municipal Way. The new site at the Tucker Center is located at 505 W. Pensacola St.
The Leon County Health Department will relocate its COVID-19 vaccination site to the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center, effective Monday, May 3.
The relocation to an indoor site will help healthcare workers and residents going for a vaccination to avoid increasing seasonal temperatures, humidity and unpredictable thunderstorms.
The department says existing appointments for a COVID-19 vaccine will be honored at the new site.
“We know that through May and the summer months, the weather will be getting too warm for our staff, volunteers, and partners to be safely outside while our patients are in their cars,” Leon Health Officer Claudia Blackburn said in a statement.
