WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — This weekend, you can get a COVID-19 vaccine while out and about in downtown West Palm Beach.
The Health Care District of Palm Beach County is rolling out one of its mobile vaccination clinics to downtown West Palm Beach by the waterfront.
The van is positioned next to E.R. Bradley's on Datura Street.
“We’re making it convenient for people who have not yet been vaccinated, including adolescents who are now eligible,” said Darcy J. Davis, Chief Executive Officer of the Health Care District of Palm Beach County. “With our mobile clinic parked downtown, visitors can receive a vaccination on their way to dinner.”
The Health Care District teamed up with the City of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County to offer free, walk-up COVID-19 vaccines through this Sunday. City of West Palm Beach Firefighters will administer the shots.
