The Duval County Florida Department of Health (DOH) and Clara White Mission are hosting a free COVID-19 vaccine clinic at 613 W. Ashley St. every Wednesday from 8:30am to Noon. No appointments needed!

"To help curb the spread, two and a half weeks ago, local organizations opened an isolation facility at a hotel, the location of which was not released to protect those inside. Changing Homelessness said the first priority is to get anyone who is on the street and COVID-19 positive into a place where they can self-isolate. The second priority is to help local hospitals by having anyone who is homeless and medically stable safely released to isolate at the hotel, making space at the hospitals for others who need it."
