Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final March 2, 2021 County Administrator Jason Brown provided an update on the COVID-19 vaccination progress. He utilized a PowerPoint presentation to provide the state and local statistics, noting that 25.5% of the County's population and 67% of the 65+ population had been vaccinated. Under Board discussion, Vice Chairman O'Bryan relayed the positive comments the Commissioners had been receiving regarding the Everbridge system and the organized vaccination process at the Fairgrounds. He received clarification from Administrator Brown about the simplicity of changing the wording on Everbridge upon direction from the Governor to allow vaccinations for different age groups and professions. The Vice Chairman also mentioned that the County may begin to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine; Administrator Brown added his speculation that the County would continue to receive Pfizer vaccines due to having the equipment to keep them at the required temperature. Commissioner Moss thanked Emergency Services Director Tad Stone, Treasure Coast Community Health, County staff, and the many volunteers who have come together to ensure a smooth vaccination process.
