FEMA pop-ups open in Liberty City and Cutler Bay again — this time for second doses
The federally supported vaccination pop-ups in North Miami Beach and Miami Springs have moved to Liberty City and Cutler Bay again. This time, it’s to administer second doses only.
The “satellite” sites open Thursday, April 8, at Charles Hadley Park, 1350 NW 50th St. in Liberty City and at South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, 10950 SW 211th St. in Cutler Bay.
Both sites are giving second-dose Pfizer shots and will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through April 13. Cutler Bay’s location will be closed on Sunday, April 11.
Then the pop-ups will end their run. The sites were part of a federal and state partnership to expand vaccine access in underserved communities.
Previously, the sites were at Allen Park Community Center in North Miami Beach and at the Miami Springs Community Center.
The FEMA hub at Miami Dade College North Campus will continue to offer the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine and second dose Pfizer shots until May 26. The site opens every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and appointments are not needed.
Here’s what else you need to know:
