Members and Friends, Please take note of this important Covid-19 announcement provided to us by Manasota ASALH members, Bill Woodon, of New College, and Mark Smith, of the Ringling
Great News!
As most of you know we cancelled this week's Vaccination Clinic as we would have been utilizing the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Due to our community partnership with both Hedges Pharmacy and the Sarasota Department of Health we have been able to shift gears and will be holding a Moderna Vaccine Walk-up Clinic on Monday, 4/19/21 from 10 am to 3 pm in Sudakoff on the New College campus. We will be scheduling a second clinic the week of May 17th so that those vaccinated on the 19th have an opportunity to receive the second dose of the vaccine.

If you do not want to receive the Moderna Vaccine, we have tentatively scheduled another clinic for 4/28 in the hopes that the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine will be cleared for use.
The staff from the Department of Health will be prepared to vaccinate anyone who is interested, so we are opening the clinic up to all students, faculty, staff and family members as well as any community members who would like to use this opportunity. We will not schedule appointments but will run this as a walk-up clinic. The combined staff from Hedges Pharmacy and the Department of Health have the capacity for multiple vaccine stations so we do not anticipate long waits. If you are interested, it would be quite helpful for you to send me an email stating your interest so that we can staff the clinic appropriately.
***Any form of identification is acceptable. Photo is NOT required ***
There is no charge for the vaccine however if you have insurance it helps to cover some of the administrative costs related to a vaccination clinic. IF you have an insurance/prescription card, please bring it with you.  If you do not have insurance, please do not let this keep you from the clinic, as the vaccine is available to everyone over 18 without regard to insurance.

To speed up the process we have attached consent forms. If you are able to print out and complete ahead of time that would be great but we will have them on hand to fill out while waiting.
