CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – In an effort to ensure a smooth COVID-19 vaccination process Monday morning, Clay County Emergency Management Director John Ward will be holding a news briefing at 5 p.m. Sunday.

The Facebook Live briefing, which will be on Clay County Emergency Management’s page and on News4Jax.com, is expected to detail the vaccination procedures that will be followed Monday:

• Only those 65 years of age or older and front-line health care workers with confirmed vaccination appointments will be allowed to park and wait at UF/IFAS Extension Clay County T. Jesse Godbold Building at 2463 State Road 16, just outside the Clay County Fairgrounds.
• There will be no walk-ups taken.
• People are strongly advised to come at their appointment date and time only.
• You must present a valid ID that shows you are 65 or older. Health care workers must bring their employee badge.

Clay County Emergency Management said it will be working closely with law enforcement to make sure the process runs smoothly. Vaccination appointments start Monday, continuing from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

There’s a lot of important information that people need to know before the appointments begin.

First, after you get a shot, you will have to go on the county website and schedule a second shot yourself. Those people will be given priority to get an appointment once the next shipment of doses arrives in the county.

The county website to sign up is alert.claycountygov.com, but at this point, the website does not have the option to schedule a second round. That option will not be operational until Monday or Tuesday. When it is, residents who received their first dose will have to log onto the site and select to get a second dose. The county will give you a card that shows which shot you received and you have to make sure you’re getting the same brand of shot for the second round.

If you leave the county and are out of town, you can qualify in another county to get your second vaccine, but you need to make sure it’s by the same manufacturer.

The second round of the shot needs to be administered roughly three to four weeks after the first shot. It varies depending on the manufacturer.

People who are given their first shot at the Godbold Building will be given information on when they need to get their second shot.

According to Clay County, all appointments to receive its intial allotment of 3,000 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine have been filled and there are no additional appointments at this time. Clay County said that as soon as the state provides an update on additional allotments, the county will open for additional appointments.

Last week, Clay County ran a “soft opening” and administered the vaccine to EMS workers, as well as a few dozen seniors from independent living facilities in the county.
