People 16 and older can now preregister for a COVID-19 vaccination at a pop-up that is opening at Westchester Regional Library Saturday.
The pop-up is offering first dose Pfizer shots by appointment only, according to the Miami-Dade Public Library System. This is the first time one of the county’s public libraries will serve as a vaccine site, a spokeswoman said.
The site will be open Saturday, April 17 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The library is located at 9445 SW 24 Street (Coral Way). As a reminder, Pfizer’s vaccine requires two shots, 21 days apart.
To pre-register for an appointment, email your name, address, date of birth and phone number to District10@miamidade.gov.
