Quarantining can be avoided with COVID-19 Vaccination

(Monroe County, Fla.)–  The Florida Department of Health in Monroe County would like to remind residents that those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not have to quarantine if they do not have symptoms.  That means no missing of in-person work or school, no missing sports activities, and no missing social events.  

The department urges all those who have not yet been vaccinated to do so as soon as possible to protect yourself, your friends, and your family.  Vaccines are safe and effective. 

Those who are seeking the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, which those ages 12-17 are eligible, can be vaccinated now through June 25 by walk-in from 10am-6pm at Marathon City Hall (9805 Overseas Hwy, Marathon).  Pfizer vaccines are also available at most CVS and Walgreens pharmacies.  Other vaccines, such as Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, are also available at local retail pharmacies.
