POMPANO BEACH — As fall and winter approach, John Knox Village is continuing its proactive health measures by offering on-site COVID-19 and flu vaccines to residents and employees.

Bob Atkins, a Vietnam veteran, was one of the 400 residents who were registered for the event: “I’ve always gotten the flu shot, my wife and I, every year, so I think it’s important,” he said.  “The ease of getting the shot here, so close, I can walk right over and get it.”

At the onset of the pandemic, John Knox Village was among the first communities in Florida to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.  Douglas Folsom, COO of John Knox Village, said that since then, the organization continues to raise awareness among residents about the importance of staying up to date on vaccinations.

“We’ve brought the vaccine to the community.  We bring our flu shots to the community.  Why?  Because we want to make it convenient for our employees and our residents,” he said.  “When COVID hit, we really made a conscious effort to protect not only our employees, but also our residents.  Our job here is to protect our residents and take care of them.”
