SANFORD, Fla. – Seminole County held a mobile vaccination site at the Masjid Al Hayy Mosque in Sanford on Saturday in an effort to reach additional communities across the county.
Before stepping inside the mosque, visitors took off their shoes or wore booties as they waited to receive their COVID-19 vaccine.
Minaz Manekia with the mosque said they wanted to give back to the community. “This was the best way for us to go back and give out these vaccines to our community so we can all fight this COVID-19 pandemic and we can all get back to our lives,” Manekia said.
