- Florida residents 18 years of age and older;
- Florida residents ages 16-17 are authorized to receive the Pfizer vaccine but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- Please note that the use of J&J vaccines remains on pause, as recommended by the CDC and FDA, due to reports that 6 women between the ages of 18-48 suffered severe and rare blood clots after receiving a dose.
HELP US SLOW THE SPREAD
- While waiting for the vaccines to reach everyone, the CDC continues to remind us that the three most important ways to slow the spread and buy us a little more time include: (1) wearing a mask to protect yourself and others, (2) staying at least 6 feet away from others who don’t live with you, and avoid crowds, and (3) washing your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- It is also extremely important to STAY HOME and isolate yourself from others if you are not feeling well. Do not socialize, go out for meals, go to work, or participate in recreational activities if you are feeling sick. Be smart. Be safe. And protect your loved ones and neighbors.
