Want a COVID-19 vaccine right now? Here are 5 pop-ups in South Florida for the day
Pfizer one-day pop-ups are opening Monday in Hialeah, Homestead, Hialeah Gardens, Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach.
Each pop-up can give up to 400 doses of Pfizer, according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, which oversees vaccine distribution. The sites don’t take appointments, so just show up and wait in line.
Who can get Pfizer’s vaccine in Florida?
Pfizer’s vaccine is for people 16 and older. Proof of Florida residency is required. Teens 16 and 17 will need to show proof of their age (driver’s license or birth certificate or current passport) and have a parent or legal guardian with them to fill out a consent form.
The form can be downloaded at the Florida Department of Health’s website.

Generally, the state would have given Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine at these one-day pop-ups, but couldn’t because of the J&J pause the federal government called for while it investigates reports of rare blood clots.
