Florida opens COVID vaccine eligibility to all adults April 5th
- Thread starter HeartlessNobody2134
- Start date
- COVID
I don't know if driving is an option but the fema location in Miami I believe takes walk ins as well.
Another option is to show up to winn-dixie or publix, I've literally seen them asking people shopping if they want a shot because they don't want it to go bad. Winn-dixie seems to have a higher rate of no-shows at least in my area.
I appreciate the response, and would like to apologize for me being unclear in my original post. My wife was able to get her an appointment and she drove to Fort Myers last week for the first Phiser shot. My whole complaint was how it was quite a runaround to hunt it down online. Where a lot of older folks have issues.
While I don't think it's true that any seniors who haven't gotten it yet "just don't want it", we're not really in a place where we can limit availability just to accommodate people who can't figure out the online appointment system.
Lake county here, too. Everyone that I know of has gotten a call back in 2ish days. A much faster turn around than I was expecting.
What sort of verification are they doing to make sure only Florida residents or US citizens get a vaccine?
I have a brother in Miami and I'd like to travel to the US to get a vaccine.
Please don't get offended if you feel like I'm trying to take advantage of the situation.

They are almost definitely going to ask for a Florida Driver's License or ID card. Local/state government has definitely tried to crack down on out-of-state people who come here trying to get a vaccine. You might have more luck at the sites that are run by FEMA or federal agencies.
If you look like your brother and he is a FL/US citizen, I suppose you can try using his photo ID.
god im sitting here in new jersey just chomping at the bit for them to announce the all eligibility. come onnnnn.
Nah, don't want to risk getting caught like that. I don't want to lose my Visa.
Some teacher where I work at have gone to Amarillo, TX, but Florida is much more convenient for me because of my brother. They don't seem to care about legal status at that particular place (so undocumented people are not afraid to get their shots).
Maybe in a couple of months. I know I won't get a shot till next year here in my country.
He's not a clown. He's an authoritarian nightmare and a Republican wet dream. He probably won't make his real move this cycle, but he's young enough that he will be in the front line of the party in the future.
Ah, so if 30% of the elderly haven't been able to get a shot that's their own fault?

Well, Health department is giving out vaccines today.
Got the first shot of Moderna.
Edit: should clarify for employees.

That is really amazing. How the hell is the US able to make this available to the whole population so quickly after an admin change? Seeing as here in Mexico they haven't even been able or willing to get all healthcare personnel vaccinated four months into the year, I'm envious for sure. It's going to be interesting seeing vaccination tourism blowing up later in the year as the US eases travel restrictions.
I got on the health department site yesterday in Palm Beach and scheduled a Tuesday vaccine in the fairgrounds. Got lucky because i wasnt aware they were starting 18+ reservations early and just stumbled into getting on line. Had to wait an hour in the queue.
I was able to get an appt though Im not 40 yet, for Tuesday. I signed up with my age and they emailed saying I could go sign up, but every site required me to give a reason why or say I was 40. I just marked I was 40, which I'm one week away from, but on the 5th its open to all. I hope that isn't a problem cause by the time of my appt I will be within the allowed age range.
I was able to grab an appointment on the 16th in Miami, Glad to finally have that off my back
EDIT: I'm 22 for those that wanted to know

Also will add that we were given the choice between Pfizer and Moderna. By the time I got there, all the Pfizer was gone.
If you didn't want Moderna, you were put on a list to receive a call in about two weeks to get Pfizer.

For those of you in South Florida, looks like Walgreens just added a bunch of new slots for the Pfizer vaccine!
I sent to a friend here in Orlando, its still not letting you sign up unless you're 40 and up.
I live in Orlando and I'm able to attempt to find appointments. The problem is I can't find any. :<
Got mine today around noon here in Pinellas at Walgreens. Scheduled for round two on May 3rd.
The only workaround for this I found was to mark the form as if you're a frontline worker, they do it no questions asked now that the state is opened up.
Signed up for an appointment tomorrow! If anyone's in Broward County, there's plenty of appointments available here:
I've dug through Walgreens, CVS, Publix, Walmart, and Sam's Club and still can't find anything. This really sucks. =/
Just get up early and book Publix on Monday/Wednesday/Friday when they have availability. I've had no trouble booking various appointments for all my family for the past couple of weeks.
Just have to be there early and have a couple of tabs/browsers refreshing.
I've been using this website to track vaccination locations with a zip code. Orlando had a few left the last time I checked, but I'm not sure how close these are to you.
Just signed up to get my shot tomorrow! Walgreens still had plenty of available slots for this week in Orlando.
thats kinda sad, where I went to get my shot was slow. I would have hoped more would show.
I had the same reaction, unfortunately this is still florida, I know way too many shitheads that are happy of their stance to not take the vaccine.
Thanks, I'll keep this in my F5 rotation.I've been using this website to track vaccination locations with a zip code. Orlando had a few left the last time I checked, but I'm not sure how close these are to you.
wtf I've been refreshing the Walgreens vaccine locator for hours and only had a handful of them show up (which then get immediately snatched up).
I just signed up for an appointment on Thursday.
Getting unreasonably excited over this shit.
Spoke with someone who told me she had a hard time finding one near Orlando. Here in Lake County it was super easy.I've been using this website to track vaccination locations with a zip code. Orlando had a few left the last time I checked, but I'm not sure how close these are to you.
Got my first shot at one of the federal sites today. No appointment needed, just walked right in and they had me out of there in about 30 minutes.
I was able to schedule an appointment for tomorrow. I guess people don't care to get the vaccine in Florida.I've been using this website to track vaccination locations with a zip code. Orlando had a few left the last time I checked, but I'm not sure how close these are to you.
Depends where you are. It's not super easy to get one in south florida, but they're basically everywhere in the rural areas.
This is really useful. I made a phone appointment for Miami Beach last month when they started filling the 500 slots they had, but I don't trust anyone that takes info over the phone.
FINALLY GOT ONE
It's a little farther from work than I would've liked, but at least it's not on the complete opposite side of town like 20+ miles away. I'll take it.
Based on the second dose date, it looks like it's the Moderna vaccine.

That makes sense. Im in the panhandle area if anybody is willing to drive to get your shot.
If it was at Walgreens, they're doing 4 weeks between the doses regardless of Pfizer or Moderna. They're changing that policy at the end of this week. I have a Pfizer one scheduled there, so I am going to see if I can get it changed to a 3-week gap instead of 4.
Walgreens Not Following U.S. Guidance on Pfizer Vaccine Spacing (Published 2021)
After complaints from customers and the C.D.C., the pharmacy chain will start scheduling doses three weeks apart.

I'll try calling them about it, then.
EDIT: Ugh, their line doesn't allow me to connect with someone to change up when my second appointment should be. I don't even know which vaccine I am going to be getting. What should I do about this?
