Closed Point of Dispensing (POD) Program

To better serve and protect our community, the Florida Department of Health in Lake County (DOH-Lake) is partnering with community-based organizations, agencies, and businesses to develop a network of closed points of dispensing, referred to as PODS.

These PODs are activated during public health emergencies that require dispensing of medical countermeasures to preserve the life, safety, and/or health of the community. PODs can to distribute medication to an affected population quickly and efficiently. 

Most PODs are open to the public, and locations, operating times, and medication pickup procedures will be announced at the time of activation.

Closed PODs are operated by and serve a particular agency, business, community organization, club, or association. They are not open to the public like other PODs. DOH-Lake requires an agreement with an organization ahead of time to provide medical countermeasures for a closed POD.
