JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry gave an update regarding second doses of COVID-19 vaccines Thursday.
Curry said individuals who got their first dose at the Lane Wiley or Mandarin Senior Centers will be eligible for a second dose.
You MUST return to the same location that you got your first dose. The city is also asking people to print out and bring along the consent form with you, along with your ID and initial vaccination card.
If you don't have a printer, there will be paper copies of the consent form available. You can find that here.
Mayor Curry says they will receive reminder phone calls the day before their scheduled second dose.
First Coast News talked with a returning patient from the Mandarin Senior Center and he couldn’t me more excited to finally see this day coming.
“Just like everybody I’m ready to get this behind us we’re having that dark winter that the president spoke about," said Anthony Bennett.
Bennett’s wife Danielle Bennett is glad to know he’s one step closer to becoming immune to the virus.
“We’re just really relieved that he’s not brought it home he’s coming in contact with a lot at work so I think that’s my biggest comfort to know that he’s taken care of," said Danielle Bennett.
