The COVID-19 testing site located at Bragg Stadium on FAMU campus will be operated by Nomi Health in collaboration with the Florida Department of Health.
The university announced the change one day before it went in affect last Saturday.
Prior to the change, the Bragg site had been run by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM) working with the Curative company. Founded in 2019, Nomi Health is a direct health-care company that has been offering COVID-19 public testing and vaccine programs in several states.
Individuals should visit http://testing.nomihealth.com/signup/famu to register.
Registered individuals will receive a QR code on their telephones. The code could be used for subsequent visits.
The Bragg site is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Since it opened on April 25, 2020, the site has conducted 341,146 COVID-19 tests.
The Al Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center vaccination site, which operates from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday is adjacent to the testing site. The Wahnish Way location offers Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
