Polk County adds 500 COVID vaccine appointments as phone woes persist


Calls to the designated number for making vaccination appointments yielded either a busy signal or the recorded message, “Your call did not go through. Please try your call again later.”
Calls to other numbers with the health department produced the same results.
James Kent of Lake Wales said he had called the vaccination line about 30 times Tuesday. He said most calls resulted in a busy signal. The three times he got through to the electronic answering system, he was promptly disconnected, he said.
It s extremely frustrating, that the county system doesn’t seem to be prepared to deal with the requests for vaccinations that they should have expected once they announced a program was going to be in place, that the governor (Ron DeSantis) was going to distribute the vaccines, Kent said.  ....

Winter Haven Hospital 'excited' as it receives Moderna's vaccine


Magee said the hospital received several thousand doses of Moderna s vaccine, but did not have an exact number. He said BayCare hoped to administer vaccine to 500 to 1,000 employees daily on Tuesday and Wednesday. 
It is completely voluntary, he said. We are encouraging people to consider it, but it is certainly their choice.
Top priority for vaccination will be given to frontline workers in Winter Haven Hospital s emergency rooms and intensive care units, according to Magee, alongside support staff who serve those areas. BayCare also will administer the vaccine to employees of Bartow Regional Medical Center in Winter Haven. 
Magee said Winter Haven Hospital is the first out of all Baycare s sites to receive a shipment from Moderna.

COVID-19: Polk County nursing homes prepare to receive vaccinations


LAKELAND  Residents and employees at Polk County nursing homes will begin receiving shots containing the COVID-19 vaccine this week.
A team will arrive Tuesday at Florida Presbyterian Homes in Lakeland to deliver injections for residents and staff of the center’s skilled-nursing facility, CEO Joe Xanthopoulos said.
Xanthopoulos said his facility’s administrator received a call Thursday afternoon from a Walgreeens representative informing her of the schedule. But Xanthopoulos was disappointed to find out that residents and staff of the center’s assisted-living facility will not receive the first round of inoculations.
“The plan was that in this first phase they would be doing all long-term care, which meant assisted-living residents and staff as well as skilled nursing,” Xanthopoulos said Friday. “I think because they did not get enough vaccines at this point in time, this first run, this first clinic, is just for our skilled-care residents and staff.” ....
