The COVID vaccine is now available in Florida. Healthcare workers started getting vaccinated in December, and now the vaccine is becoming available to seniors in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties this week.
Both counties are starting the reservation process for residents 65 and older either online or by phone. Those looking to make an appointment online can do so at hccovidshot.as.me, and appointments are available by phone at 888-755-2822. Vaccinations will begin in Hillsborough on Tuesday, January 5th, and in Pinellas on Wednesday the 6th.
