More than 200 Publix stores in Florida have COVID vaccines. Here is the growing list

Article updated 2/3/2021

More than 250 Publix stores across Florida now have COVID-19 vaccines available, including locations in Palm Beach and Monroe counties.

Miami-Dade and Broward stores still aren’t on the list but because Florida doesn’t have a county residency requirement, seniors 65 and older can go to another county to get the vaccine. You will need to show proof of Florida residency.

Vaccines are available by appointment-only at Publix pharmacies on the list. Appointments can only be made online at publix.com/covid-vaccine/florida. New appointment slots opened Wednesday.

Which Publix stores in Florida have COVID-19 vaccines available?

In South Florida, all 67 Publix pharmacies in Palm Beach County have vaccines available. In the Florida Keys, two stores — one in Islamorada and one in Key West — have doses available.

On Jan. 26, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the vaccine rollout program was expanding to include eight Publix pharmacies in Indian River County and 11 Publix pharmacies in St. Lucie County. He said there are now 261 Publix pharmacies in 20 Florida counties carrying the vaccine.

Do Publix vaccine appointments fill-up fast?

Like many vaccinations sites across the state, Publix vaccination appointments become booked quickly.

If you can’t book a slot Wednesday, your next shot to get an appointment is Friday after 7 a.m. (6:00 a.m. CST).

To increase chances of getting an appointment, be on the Publix website early and refresh often.
