COVID-19 Vaccine Information

The CDC, Florida Department of Health, and Governor Ron DeSantis decided to move forward with a phased approach to distributing the COVID-19 vaccine.  Currently, Florida is in Phase 1. According to the State of Florida Executive Order 21-47, during this first phase of vaccine administration, all providers administering any COVID-19 vaccine shall only vaccinate the following populations:

• Long-term care facility (LTCF) residents and staff;
• Persons 65 years of age and older;
• Health care personnel with direct patient contact; 
• K-12 school employees 50 years of age and older; and
• Firefighters 50 years of age and older.

Vaccine Key Points

• Individuals can pre-register for vaccine appointments and be notified when appointments are available in their area by visiting https://myvaccine.fl.gov or by calling 866-201-5420 or TTY (TeleTYpewriter) 833-476-1525.
• Individuals receiving a vaccine are required to bring:
  • COVID-19 Vaccine Screening and Consent Form
  • Form of ID (driver's license, passport, healthcare badge, etc.)
  • Proof of Florida residency.
  • Vaccine appointment card received during first dose appointment for second dose appointment
• Initially there will be limited vaccine availability, resulting in the need for a phased approach by priority groups
• Dose quantity/accessibility will determine appointment availability.
