The site usually distributes 250 Johnson & Johnson vaccines every Tuesday starting at 9 am in the parking lot of the Men’s Shelter. 

This morning the FDA and CDC recommended a “pause” in the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to investigate reports of blood clots.

The Salvation Army Orlando will still hold a drive thru food distribution event today starting at 1 pm. 

Residents can pick up a week’s supply of food in a safe, touchless manner.
