That will include offering 300 more appointments per day at the Orange County Convention Center, holding vaccination events at local churches and hosting a closed pod for school board employees, according to Dr?

Raul Pino, the director of the Florida Department of Health in Orange County.

Pino and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings didn’t offer further details about the location of that event or how to register.

Pino is also waiting to provide an update on when residents can expect to see additional daily appointments open up at the convention center site.

He said county officials need to make sure all the plans are in place and doses are in hand before those slots become available.

We have received a total 29,975 dosage of Pfizer,” Pino said Thursday.

The convention center site is vaccinating about 1,500 people a day.

Those who do come to the convention center site should keep in mind that they don’t get to choose which vaccine they receive since that depends on what’s available and other factors designed to make sure that every shot gets used.

Pino said there’s generally a lag in those figures.

“So there are some signs in the data, but death rate and mortality rate and ICU hospitalization rate runs behind so it will take us two or three weeks to see those rates declining if hospitalizations continue to decline,” Pino said.
