The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County (DOH-Flagler) has confirmed its weekday COVID-19 testing schedule for the second week of March.
Free drive through COVID-19 testing will be offered 1-3 p.m. Tuesday and Friday, across from 120 Airport Road. No appointments are necessary, and test results are available in 2-3 days. DOH-Flagler is likely to reduce the amount of COVID-19 testing it offers when multiple vaccination events are scheduled during that week.
Other locations in Flagler County providing COVID-19 testing include two Mediquick locations, CentraCare, Palm Harbor Family Practice and CVS Pharmacies. Please confirm with each site in advance as some require appointments.
The DOH-Flagler-led operation at the Flagler County Fairgrounds (150 Sawgrass Road, Bunnell) is a primary vaccination site in Flagler County. Appointments for the Moderna vaccine are required and can be made through the State of Florida's appointment system at myvaccine.fl.gov or by calling 866-201-1541 (TTY: 1-833-476-1450). Those with questions about appointments can call 833-540-2038.
In the coming week, the health department’s vaccination efforts will prioritize:
Persons 65 years of age and older;
Health care personnel with direct patient contact;
The health department is partnering with Flagler Schools to host a vaccination event for teachers and district employees ages 50 and up Saturday, March 20 at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Private school teachers and staff who meet the age criteria will also be invited. Details will be provided next week.
Vaccines for law enforcement and fire fighters age 50 and up are being arranged between the health department, Flagler County Emergency Management and the Community Paramedic team.
