PSA: Announced by WJHG -Monoclonal Antibody site closure Saturday December 4th.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) – According to Bay County health officials, the monoclonal antibody therapy treatment site at the Bay County Fairgrounds will close on Saturday, December 4.

Local health officials said the State of Florida has been working with a network of community partners to ensure the health care sector is able to administer the antibody treatment to residents.

We’re told the Florida Department of Health will continue to allocate doses of the monoclonal antibodies to health care providers ensuring inventory levels meet county demands.

Monoclonal antibody treatment locations can be found at FloridaHealthCOVID19.gov.

Reminder About October Gun Show

Just a friendly reminder that the Fairgrounds will not be hosting a gun show at the end of this month. FEMA restoration on the midway still continues plus there is a Monoclonal Antibody infusion center utilizing part of the main Fairground Building to help residents of Bay County. In addition, there will not be a 2021 Fair as Fairground restoration continues.

September 2021 Update

FEMA has begun the Fairground restoration project and at this time we do not have any information on when it may be completed. The Fairground Midway will remain closed until the restoration is completed. There will not be a 2021 Fair as a result of this plus other construction projects needed to fully restore the property.

August 2021 Update

The State of Florida in conjunction with Bay County Florida EOC has requested space be made available in our Main Building for the purpose of an Infusion Center which would provide Monoclonal Antibody Treatments for Covid 19 infected. The Central Panhandle Fair will be providing this space until December 2021. For more information please contact floridahealthcovid19.gov or the Bay County EOC at 850-248-6043.
