COVID-19 Vaccine Update
The good news regarding COVID-19 vaccine clinics keeps getting better. All Publix stores in
Florida are now offering vaccinations in addition to other stores like CVS, Walgreens, Winn Dixie
and more! Please check the websites for these additional outlets for current COVID-19 vaccination
availability.
We are happy to report that again, there have been no new cases of COVID-19 reported at the Club
this week.
In an abundance of caution, we have amended our COVID-19 policy slightly to extend the waiting
period between exposure and testing from 3 days to 5 days to allow sufficient time for incubation of
the virus. The quarantine period for individuals who have tested positive remains 7 days in the
absence of symptoms per CDC guidelines.

University Park.
For those of you still in need of a vaccination, here is the most current information that we have
regarding vaccine registration in Sarasota and Manatee Counties and a link to the Publix COVID
Vaccine page.
