Federal Sites to Vaccinate Persons Deemed Extremely Vulnerable

(Monroe County, Fla.)—On March 3, the State of Florida expanded the criteria for vaccine eligibility to include persons deemed medically vulnerable by a physician. The following form here must be completed and signed for an individual to be deemed eligibly vulnerable for a vaccination:  http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_archive/covid-physician-form/EO-21-47-Form.pdf.   According to the new Executive Order, vaccines for persons deemed medically vulnerable may only be administered by a physician, advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), or licensed pharmacist.  Our local hospitals, including Lower Keys Medical Center, Fishermen’s, and Mariners are not able to provide vaccination for medically vulnerable individuals at this time, and all calls should be directed to a Federally Supported Vaccination Site or Federal Retail Pharmacy.  Vaccines for individuals who are medically vulnerable are only administered at Federally Supported Vaccination Sites or Federal Retail Pharmacies and are not available through registration at MyVaccine.FL.gov or the local hospitals.  Please visit FloridaDisaster.org/Vaccine and scroll to the drop down for “Federally Supported Vaccination Sites” and “Federal Retail Pharmacies.”  The Federal Retail Pharmacies in Monroe County are Publix and Winn Dixie.  The closest Federally Supported Vaccination Site to Monroe County is Miami Dade Community College.  For more information about vaccines in Monroe County, visit monroe.flhealth.gov/vax.
