Body
Whereas, The Health Department anticipates opening temporary COVID-19, influenza, and similar vaccination clinics in various areas of the City to better serve the needs of residents in collaboration with medical organizations (including but not limited to hospitals, clinics, medical schools); and
Whereas, The Health Department anticipates possibly locating some of these temporary vaccination clinics on private property, thus requiring an agreement between the property owner and the City; and
