SEASIDE COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINIC

Location:
Seaside Institute Assembly Hall
168 Smolian Circle Seaside Florida 32459
Ascension Sacred Heart, like other hospitals across Northwest Florida, has seen a rapid spike in hospitalizations due to the spread of the more contagious delta variant of COVID-19. The hospitals in the Panhandle are currently treating more COVID-19 patients than at any time during the prior two surges of the virus. Within Ascension Sacred Heart's hospitals, 94 percent of hospitalized COVID-19 patients have not been vaccinated.
With the spread of the delta variant of the virus, we also have found the disease is impacting younger patients in their 20s, 30s and 40s. We are seeing fewer patients over 65 because most of those people have been vaccinated.
"The current surge is a public health crisis that we hoped would never happen, but the community needs to know that COVID-19 is hitting this community hard," said Henry Stovall, regional president of Ascension Sacred Heart's hospitals in Miramar Beach, Panama City and Port St. Joe.. "The surge has put great pressure on our hospitals, emergency departments and healthcare professionals. Our healthcare workers need the community's support to stop this surge now."
We will be administering Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine to anyone age 12 and above. Anyone under the age of 17 needs to be accompanied by a guardian.
