 The following populations of Florida Residents are currently eligible to schedule an appointment to receive the vaccine:

  • Individuals 65 years of age and older
  • Long-term care facility residents and staff
  • Healthcare personnel with direct patient contact
  • Individuals deemed to be extremely vulnerable to COVID-19 by hospital providers
