This item aims to discuss the City’s plan and assistance to ensure the COVID-19 vaccination process is expedient, safe, and successful. This would include:

 

1. Administering a drive-through vaccination site, similar to the approach Broward County is taking (see https://www.local10.com/news/local/2021/01/04/broward-county-covid-19-drive-thru-vaccination-locations-running-smoothly-despite-difficultly-obtaining-appointments/).

 

2. Facilitating logistics to enable all seniors, not only those living in senior living facilities, to access vaccine distribution locations.

 

3. Assist in the possible delivery of vaccines to immobile residents.

 

4. Improve and accelerate the appointment process.
