by: Gretchen Smith
DOH Public Information Officer
The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County is moving its COVID-19 testing operations to the Flagler County Fairgrounds, 150 Sawgrass Road, in Bunnell. The site will be open weekdays between 8 a.m. and noon to accommodate testing for:
The last day of regular testing at 120 Airport Road is Aug. 20. Several factors influenced the decision for earlier testing hours and the return to Cattleman’s Hall, including afternoon heat, increased demand for testing and adjustments requested by the department’s case investigation and contact tracing team.
Testing on Friday, Aug. 27, will be 8 a.m. to noon at the DOH, 301 Dr. Carter Blvd., Bunnell, due to a previously scheduled event at fairgrounds. Testing on subsequent Fridays will return to Cattleman's Hall.
On Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 28-29, there will be one last weekend of testing at the health department, from 9 to 11 a.m.
As a reminder, the health department does not offer testing for travel verification.
Vaccinations will continue to be offered at the main health department location, 301 Dr. Carter Blvd., in Bunnell. The Pfizer clinic will be open 3:30-6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for the rest of August, and into September. Appointments are preferred; walk-ins are welcome.
Please note that the health department is awaiting additional guidance for the administration of Pfizer and Moderna booster doses. CVS, Walgreens, Publix and Walmart are currently administering boosters to immuno-compromised individuals. DOH-Flagler will add these vaccinations to its operation at the Flagler County Fairgrounds (Cattleman's Hall) next month.
