ORLANDO, Fla. – A new federally supported coronavirus vaccination site opened Wednesday at Valencia College’s West Campus, providing 2,000 shots per day.
The Orlando FEMA site is one of four that opened in the state, with the others being in Miami, Jacksonville and Tampa. The site also comes with two mobile units providing 500 doses each per day.
Those units will go into communities that are hard to reach with less accessibility and high poverty levels. Those communities include areas in Orange, Osceola, Polk and Highlands counties.
The site will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day and is expected to remain open for at least eight weeks, according to the Orlando Police Department.
