FEMA site at Valencia College begins offering J&J shots
ORLANDO, Fla. – Operations at the FEMA-backed vaccination site located at the Valencia College west campus have shut down Sunday due to storms moving through Central Florida.
Officials initially announced inclement weather pushed back the start of its operations, but later provided an update that the site would remain closed and reopen Monday.
Most of Central Florida was under a severe thunderstorm watch as storms moved through the region. The severe thunderstorm watch has been canceled for Marion and Flagler counties. Many areas saw hail and heavy downpours as a storm system moved through just before 11 a.m.
The vaccination site typically runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily with it now offering the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The campus was selected as a federally supported site back in February 2021.
