COVID vaccine available at Inter Miami soccer stadium in Fort Lauderdale. How to get one
Fort Lauderdale’s Inter Miami CF Stadium on Tuesday will turn into a COVID-19 vaccination site, where up to 500 vaccines a day will be given to people who pre-register online.
The site, run by Broward Health, is a partnership between the city of Fort Lauderdale and Inter Miami CF. The stadium, formerly known as Lockhart, will be open Monday through Friday for people 65 and over, office staff of Broward Health-credentialed physicians and other healthcare providers and their office staff members.
The vaccine distribution sites have been in high demand statewide, and slots often fill up within minutes of going live online.
