Get Your Vaccine!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to support the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine and strongly encourages every eligible person to be vaccinated.  Our bishop recommends that all follow CDC guidance for the health and safety of themselves, their loved ones, and our worship community. 

There are several COVID-19 vaccine resources available within our local community. 

Walgreens offers same-day, walk-in appointments for the vaccine as well as drive-through testing; both are free.

CVS Pharmacy and Publix both offer walk-in COVID-19 vaccine locations.  

The Lakeland location of the Florida Health Department offers the COVID-19 vaccine for free as well as free face masks.  A resources page identifying testing locations throughout Polk County is also available along with a vaccine locator page to find vaccine provider sites throughout the state of Florida.    http://polk.floridahealth.gov/index.html

The walk-in possibilities are especially appealing to those that may decide at the last minute to just go and get vaccinated. The Publix locations might work well if a friend needs to get vaccinated but perhaps needs to be accompanied. The trip could be combined with grocery shopping.  Let the church office know if you need transportation for getting a vaccine.
