Avoid COVID-19 Vaccine Scams
Catch a Ride with GEMS
COVID-19 vaccination scams are on the rise. Pinellas County authorities encourage residents who have been the victim of COVID-19 fraud to immediately report it to 1-800-HHSTIPS, tips.hhs.gov; the FBI Hotline: 1-800-CALL-FBI, ic3.gov; or the CMS/Medicare Hotline, 1-800-MEDICARE.
The Gulfport Extended Mobility Service (GEMS) through the Senior Center has resumed limited, essential transportation services like grocery store runs and medical appointments. Any Gulfport resident 55 or older, or residents with a disability, can take advantage of GEMS doorto-door service for a yearly membership of $70, plus $2 per ride. Call 727-893-2242 for more information.
