A COVID vaccine during your next visit to Dolphin Mall? Here’s how to get your shot
If you’re at Dolphin Mall to shop and eat, you can now get a shot, too.
A new vaccination site opened Monday at the Sweetwater mall, 11401 NW 12th St., in the valet area near Cheesecake Factory. First- and second-dose Pfizer shots will be available daily at the site from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
It’s part of Miami-Dade County’s efforts to expand inoculation access. Vaccination sites also opened Monday at Miami International Airport and PortMiami.
“We’re taking vaccines where the people are — to the port, airport, hotels, malls, restaurants, schools, and businesses across our community,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said in a statement.
While the vaccination site is officially a drive-thru, people who are dropped off by a rideshare or hanging out in the mall can walk over to get a shot, said Miami-Dade County spokeswoman Rachel Johnson.
Remember, Pfizer is for people 16 and older. Anyone who lives or works in Florida can get a shot. Proof of age will be required. Teens 16 and 17 years old will also need a parent or legal guardian with them at the vaccination to sign a consent form.
Appointments are not required though they are encouraged. To make a vaccination appointment, visit miamidade.gov/vaccine or call 305-614-2014.
