COVID-19 vaccinations are your best defense from the virus and its variants. With precautions such as using face masks, staying socially distanced and practicing good hand hygiene, you can protect yourself, your loved ones and the community.

The Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County (DOH-Pinellas) partners with local employers, houses of worship and community groups to offer outreach clinics.

As one of the largest employers in Pinellas, HSN is supporting the Pinellas community by providing a convenient location for COVID-19 vaccinations.

On Monday, Aug. 30, and Monday, Sept. 20, DOH-Pinellas will host a drive-thru vaccination event for first and second doses at HSN’s headquarters, 2501 118th Ave. N., Pinellas Park. Hours on both days will be 8 a.m. to noon. No appointments are needed.

“We are happy to work with HSN to protect more people in the community,” said Dr. Ulyee Choe, DOH-Pinellas’ director. “If we are to end the COVID-19 epidemic, we all need to do our part to get one of the safe, effective vaccines offered at no cost throughout the nation.”

Pfizer and one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be provided at the HSN parking area. Those who are vaccinated there will receive a $20 food voucher from DOH-Pinellas. In addition, HSN will be making a $10 donation per shot over both clinic days to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Foundation, for a maximum donation of $10,000.
