Pfizer? Johnson & Johnson? Take your pick at three Jacksonville COVID vaccination sites

Jacksonville, Fla. — This is a developing story. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

On Saturday morning Jacksonville’s Gateway Mall, the federally-run COVID-19 vaccination site, as well as Normandy Community Center and Hammond Senior Center, will begin offering the highly awaited Johnson & Johnson vaccine in addition to Pfizer.

A FEMA spokesperson tells Action News Jax those eligible for a vaccine can choose which one they wish to take.

Beginning March 4, eligible residents include:

• Health care personnel with direct patient contact;
• K-12 school employees
