3/31/21 @ 3:45 - Late last week, several County departments worked together to set up a large commercial tent at the AMC Threate in Yulee for the Health Department to have an additional POD (Point of Dispensing) location to administer COVID-19 Vaccinations.
This 40'x75' tent can comfortably hold about 200 people when spaced properly for social distancing. The tent has sides to protect individuals from harsh weather conditions. The County also installed an A/C Unit to keep everyone comfortable inside.
Installing the tent was truly a group effort as it took about 5 hours to set up. It also required proper inspections and permitting.
Kudos to the following departments for working together to make COVID-19 vaccination events accessible to all citizens and for fostering inter-departmental relations:
Facilities Maintenance: tent set up, installation of lighting, exit signs, air conditioner, large back-up generator, and porta potties
Sheriff's Office: Set up of small generator and coordination of life-safety requirements
Road Department: installation of barricades, signage, and fueling generator
Building Department: tent permitting and inspection
Emergency Management: Coordination of set-up, providing chairs and tables, and refrigeration for vaccines
Fire Department: filling of water barrels to hold tent in place, inspection
