The first phase of COVID-19 vaccines is designed to:

• Health team with direct contact with the patient
• Residents and employees of long-term care institutions
• People aged 65 and over

The municipality received the first installment of the vaccine Monday (28/12). The initial shipment was intended for healthcare providers.

The health department anticipated that other priority groups – especially those over 65 – could start receiving vaccines in “the coming weeks”.

Healthcare professionals who do not work directly for a hospital or long-term care facility can receive vaccination on Saturday (January 2), from 10 am to 1 pm, at the Flagler County Fairgrounds. Proof of identity was required.

The next priority group is people over 65. Flagler County residents in this age group “can make appointments to be vaccinated in early January,” the press release said. “The time will depend on when the health department will receive the next dose of vaccine, preferably as early as next week.”
