We certainly realize there are plenty of vaccine sites all over town, said LCS assistant superintendent Alan Cox, who oversees health and wellness at the district. We’re trying to increase the percentage of our employees as well as get 16 and 17-year-olds vaccinated.
Cox said the mobile clinic is a partnership with the Florida Department of Health-Leon County and will administer both the Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Cox said the mobile unit has the capacity to administer up to 400 doses per day.
Currently, the Pfizer vaccine is the only one cleared for 16- and 17-year-olds. Those under 18 will need a parent or guardian present at the time of vaccination. The mobile unit will return to the high school sites for second dose appointments.
