TAMPA, Fla. - On Sunday, 590 senior citizens received their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at St. John s Progressive Missionary Baptist Church.
The Florida Department of Health says the church is a new vaccination site that was opened in conjunction with the city of Tampa and the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
Our communities of color face a double challenge, said Dr. Douglas Holt, director DOH-Hillsborough. They have a higher chance of being infected. That has a lot to do with being essential workers; being out in the community and don t have a choice to work from home.
