TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â The Florida A&M University Al Lawson Center vaccination site gave its 10,000th dose on Wednesday morning.
The recipient of the milestone vaccination was Tallahassee resident Joy McCallister, who received her second Moderna vaccine.
âI want to do my part to get back to normal,â said McCallister, a mother of two who works for the Leon County Clerkâs Office. âI also want to protect my family.â
The site was opened on Feb. 25 specifically to reach people of color and other underserved communities. Those groups have less access to free vaccines and appear to be more affected by vaccine hesitancy.
A new program offering low-cost legal services will open Tuesday.
The Low Bono Center, which will be located on the first floor of the Leon County Courthouse, will provide inexpensive legal guidance in a variety of cases, including family law, small claims and residential.
The cost of the attorney consultation is $1 per minute for any amount of time between 15 minutes and an hour. A customer can receive a maximum of one consultation per day.
The Tallahassee Bar Association, which worked with the Leon County Circuit Court to create the Low Bono Center, will provide experienced attorneys to help clients understand their cases.
Some individuals may not be fully aware of the rights we, as Florida residents, have to public information. In recognition of Sunshine Week March 14-20 clerks throughout the state are celebrating transparency in government, and our role in providing residents access to important public, court and historic records.
As clerk of court and comptroller in Leon County, I am proud of my responsibility and ability to provide our citizens with access to records and the resources they need to be active members of the community. Maintaining transparency and equal access to public information is one of my core responsibilities as your clerk of court – and one I take very seriously.
