Sarasota Vaccine Clinic Notifications Sent Out Tuesday

SARASOTA COUNTY, FL — Notifications will be sent out Tuesday for a coronavirus vaccination clinic at Sarasota Square Mall scheduled Wednesday and Friday, Brianne Grant, the county’s media relations officer, said in an email.

Around 6,400 first-dose vaccine doses will be administered during this clinic, which is operated by the Department of Health in Sarasota County.

Appointment notices for first doses are sent through the county’s vaccine registration system by order of registration. Grant said the county is booking up to number 32,051 in the registration system.

Those who receive an appointment notification have two hours to confirm or decline it. If an individual declines an appointment, they won't lose their place in the queue. They'll be contacted for the next available vaccine clinic.

If receiving notifications by phone, the call will come from 941-861-8297. Emails will come from the Department of Health in Sarasota County COVID-19 Vaccine Registration System using the email address DOHcovid19vaccine@scgov.net. And those notified by text will receive a messaged from the number 88911.
