J&J pop-ups are back, and some are in South Florida. Here’s where to get your shot now
Johnson & Johnson pop-ups are popping up again in Florida on Wednesday, just days after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lifted its pause on the single-dose vaccine over the risks of rare blood clots.
More than a dozen one-day pop-ups are opening across the state Wednesday and five are in South Florida. While most of the pop-ups in the state have J&J, some have Pfizer or Moderna, which means they will return to the same location when it’s time for second doses.
Of the five pop-ups in South Florida, all but one have J&J. Here’s where to go:

Where else is there J&J?
The FEMA-supported site at Miami Dade College North campus has J&J shots and does not take appointments. That means you can just show up and wait in line. The other FEMA hub sites in Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando also have shots.
Publix has also resumed scheduling J&J shots. Other pharmacies that previously offered the shot, including Walmart and Winn-Dixie, will likely open appointments soon if they haven’t already.
