Mayor Robert A. Wills told the City Council of the City of Bay Minette on Jan. 19 that the Franklin Primary Clinic requested use of the Civic Center to administer COVID‑19 vaccines by appointment. Council members agreed the service is needed by the community.
Wills also presented a request from Southern Alabama AHEC to host a drive‑through COVID‑19 testing site at the Sports Complex on Jan. 23; the council agreed to permit the testing event. The minutes record these items under the mayor's report and do not show separate roll‑call votes for the presentations; the council response is recorded as agreement to proceed.
The minutes do not specify vaccine start dates, the number of doses, appointment scheduling details, testing hours or staffing; those operational details were not provided and will be determined by Franklin Primary Clinic and Southern Alabama AHEC in coordination with city staff. Residents seeking the vaccine or testing were advised (in the minutes) that vaccination would be by appointment and testing would be a drive‑through event on Jan. 23.
