Walk-in availability extended at vaccine clinic
Lee Health is permanently continuing its walk-in vaccine availability for the community.
Anyone can get a vaccine at no cost by visiting the COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Gulf Coast Medical Center in Fort Myers. It is open Tuesday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Appointments can also be made at www.leehealth.org.
“At Lee Health, we are committed to making sure anyone who wants a COVID-19 vaccine can get one, and that’s why we continue to expand availability and increase access of the vaccine through our community clinic,” President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Larry Antonucci said. “We urge everyone who is able to get their COVID-19 vaccine to do so as soon as possible.”
Lee Health is offering the opportunity for all patients 18 and older to choose which COVID-19 vaccine they receive, based on current availability. Lee Health currently has Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines available. Those ages 12-17 are still only able to receive the Pfizer vaccine and must have a parent with them when they receive their vaccination.
To receive a COVID-19 vaccine at the clinic, come to the main entrance and check-in at the front desk. Bring personal identification and insurance card, if you have one. There is no cost for the vaccine.
A mask is required to enter any Lee Health facility.
