As part of a pilot program, a state strike team will administer 500 COVID-19 vaccine doses Saturday at Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in northeast Palm Bay.
“It’s a great opportunity for the underserved community. People were very emotional on the phone," said Bennie Jackson, who chairs the church's board of trustees.
"People were crying. People were pleading. People were crying when we had told them that they were accepted, they were so happy," Jackson said.
"We were just overwhelmed with requests," Jackson said.
