COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility

Governor DeSantis has expanded the groups eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida. Eligible residents include:

Persons 50 years of age and older;

  • Persons deemed medically vulnerable (required form here);
  • Health care personnel with direct patient contact

Additional Updates:

  • The department is still prioritizing healthcare workers with direct patient contact to get vaccinated. Monroe County residents who are healthcare workers with direct patient contact can email [email protected], indicate they are a healthcare worker in Monroe County, and provide the name of the healthcare facility.
  • Residents who have registered on Sharecare can update their information at the Vaccine Assistant at vaccine.healthsecurity.sharecare.com/vaccine.  By doing so, the resident stays in control of their contact information, and will get all communication from Sharecare going forward. Making any changes will not affect their place in line.
  • Those who have registered and are waiting on a phone call for an appointment should answer unknown numbers. When answering, the phone system representative will announce themselves as “The Monroe County First Dose Scheduling Line.”
