After some mixed messages Thursday that led to some confusion for younger teachers, the deputy director of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management cleared the air and said the federally supported site at the Gateway Town Center that opened Wednesday will be complying with the federal directive - meaning teachers and school employees of all ages can get COVID-19 vaccines there.
“Because of the federal directive, this site at Gateway will take teachers, school workers, early childhood, pre-K, of all ages at this site,” said Kevin Guthrie, deputy director/SERT Chief, WJCT News partner News4Jax reported.
“So, again, pre-K through K-12, Head Start programs, child care centers, day care centers, and so on - that site, the federal site, will do that. It is a federal site, and they are complying with the federal directive.”
CVS, Walmart and Publix are also vaccinating teachers of any age at pharmacies around the state, citing the federal guidelines.
