Dear Mr. Keegan,

The purpose of this letter is to provide my endorsement of the “Vote and Vaccinate” 
effort in conjunction with the upcoming General Election.  The Executive Board of the 
Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections (FSASE) has expressed support of 
this program and I am happy to encourage Elections Supervisors statewide to embrace 
this concept.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that every person 50 or 
older receive an annual flu shot.  Obviously, a large percentage of our state’s voters fall 
within this category, and Election Day provides a unique opportunity to offer 
immunization for those who are most vulnerable.  By having mobile clinics placed by 
County Public Health officials out the 100-foot solicitation area, we can make a valuable 
contribution toward the health and well being of our citizens.  In addition, no sign will be 
placed at the polling place and all vaccinations will be given after the participant votes.

In summary, on behalft of FSASE I heartily offer my support of the “Vote and 
Vaccinate” effort and will encourage Supervisors to cooperate when approached by their 
local County Public Health representative.

Sincerely,

Jennifer J. Edwards 
President
