Where can you get a COVID vaccine in Miami-Dade and Broward without an appointment?
UPDATED 4/13/2021
Having trouble getting a COVID-19 vaccine appointment in South Florida?
Try a walk-up site. Several locations in Miami-Dade and Broward don’t take appointments, so you can show up and wait in line. Remember, you don’t have to get vaccinated in the county where you live. But proof of Florida residency is required, such as a driver’s license.
A few other things to remember:
▪ People 16 and older can get Pfizer’s vaccine. People 18 and older can also get Moderna. While people 18 and older could normally get Johnson & Johnson, the federal government has called for a “pause” in the vaccine’s distribution while it investigates reports of blood clots.
▪ Teens 16 and 17 will need to show proof of their age (driver’s license, birth certificate, current passport) and must have a parent or legal guardian with them the day of their vaccination. Besides proof of Florida residency, families will need to fill out a screening and consent form.
