Museums for Immunity

Five St. Petersburg museums are coming together to boost the health and safety of our community during our first ever Museums for Immunity event. In partnership with the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County, the Center for Health Equity, and the City of St. Petersburg’s Healthy St. Pete initiative, these museums are bringing FREE COVID-19 vaccines to the public at each site.

At The James Museum, vaccinations will take place in the Mesa Hall and registration is not required. Walk-ins are encouraged!

The James Museum is offering two complimentary admission tickets to each participant. Additionally the Florida Department of Health is providing $15 food vouchers (while supplies last). 

Participants will be eligible to receive their first or second COVID-19 immunization or their 6-month booster – Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and adult and pediatric Pfizer vaccines will be available – and flu vaccines for children and adults will also be offered! Museum admission is not required for this free community health event.

Anyone meeting the CDC’s COVID-19 immunization eligibility requirements is encouraged to participate. Questions about vaccine eligibility may be directed to the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County at (727) 824-6900 or pinellas.floridahealth.gov/. Members of the public are asked to bring their current vaccine card with them to the location of their choice.

Officials from each of the participating museums and organizations hope that this event will help to make vaccines accessible to everyone in our community and increase vaccination success in St. Petersburg. These steps will help to ensure that all museums, cultural sites, and community gathering spaces are able to keep our doors open and continue welcoming visitors for daily admission, educational tours, special programs, and events. ­Please join us as we boost the ‘Burg!
