City Of Lakeland issued the following announcement on Aug. 26.
Thank you for your recent editorial, Sheriff Judd!
From the Polk County Sheriff's Office: Sheriff Grady Judd penned an editorial for the Winter Haven Sun, but we thought we would share it with our Facebook readers as well. Here's what the Sheriff thinks about the choice we all have regarding the available vaccines against COVID-19. https://tinyurl.com/2ksamy4k

From the Editorial:
"I keep getting asked if I’ve gotten the COVID-19 vaccination. I tell them it was an easy decision for me: yes. The moment I was eligible, I got the Moderna vaccine. The available data I had access to—that we all have access to—makes it clear to me that getting the vaccine is a smart risk management decision.
The decision to get the vaccine is an individual, personal decision. I don’t believe anyone should be forced to get the vaccine. I think people who have concerns about it should consult their physician and follow their advice.
For me, I looked at the available data and I’ve seen our experience with Polk County Sheriff’s Office agency members related to COVID-19 vaccines. Not one of the hundreds of our members who have received the vaccine has had a serious negative reaction. Not one. We’ve had a few who’ve had an allergic response and have been unable to get a second dose, but no one has become seriously ill."
