MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Montgomery County Health Department, in conjunction with the TN Department of Health, conducted a full-scale Point-of-Dispensing (POD) Exercise on Tuesday, September 26.
The exercise was held at Apostolic Faith Tabernacle Church located at 1470 Golf Club Lane.
Health officials inoculated Montgomery County employees and dependents who wish to receive this year’s flu vaccine for the exercise.
Once at the location, participants were directed through the process without ever leaving their vehicle.
“It takes about 47 seconds from when your car pulls up. You would not have been able to park your car and go into a clinic that fast,” Health Department Director Joey Smith said.
Austin Peay State University Nursing students also participated in the exercise this year for additional hands-on training.
