Where to get your COVID-19 vaccine across Central Florida
Central Florida health officials are increasingly turning to walk-up and mobile sites for COVID-19 vaccinations as demand for appointments wanes. By Friday afternoon,” all are continuing to use the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines while awaiting a final decision, expected Friday night, from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on resuming use of popular Johnson & Johnson shot.
The Florida Division of Emergency Management, for instance, has added a series of one- or two-day mobile clinics to make vaccination more convenient (see below).
And the mass inoculation site at Valencia College’s west campus is offering 3,000 first doses of Pfizer a day on a walk-up basis in addition to scheduled second doses.
Currently, all Florida residents 16 and older are eligible for the Pfizer shot, although 16- and 17-year-olds must be accompanied by a parent or guardian or have a signed consent form — or both. All Florida residents 18 and over can receive the Moderna vaccine.
There’s also a statewide email address for home-bound seniors to register to have the COVID-19 vaccine brought directly to them. To request vaccination, email HomeboundVaccine@em.myflorida.com or call 1-866-779-6121.
We have compiled a list of vaccination sites across Central Florida that will be updated frequently.
Anyone seeking a vaccination will need to show a valid Florida driver’s license or Florida identification card or any two of the following:
A deed, mortgage, monthly mortgage statement, mortgage payment booklet or residential rental or lease agreement.
A utility hookup or work order that is not more than 2 months old or a utility bill that is not more than 2 months old.
Mail from a bank or other financial institution — including checking, savings, or investment account statements — that is not more than 2 months old.
Mail from a government agency, such as a tax bill showing a Florida address, that is not more than 2 months old.
Caution: Beware of scams. Do not fill out Eventbrite vaccine registration forms unless they are provided through a county’s website or the links in this list, and do not register for a vaccination appointment that requires payment. However, many providers ask for insurance information if you have coverage.
