The FAFP continues advocacy efforts for family physicians to receive access to the COVID vaccine. FAFP member Dr. Charles Warren has also been advocating independently and was recently interviewed by Jacksonville News4Jax. Other support has included letters to hospital CEOs across the state urging vaccine availability to primary care physicians who are not affiliated with local hospitals or health systems and posting the latest updates for vaccination locations throughout the state. The latest information can be FOUND HERE via the FAFP's website: www.fafp.org.
