Long-awaited news on the COVID-19 vaccine front: The Florida Department of Health today launched a statewide preregistration system to schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments for residents age 65 and older and frontline health workers. Residents can go to myvaccine.fl.gov, select their county, and submit contact information.
When vaccine appointments become available at state-run vaccination sites, those registered will be contacted and assisted in making an appointment, according to a news release from the Florida Department of Health.
For people without internet access, each county has a designated phone number for pre-registration. Selected numbers are listed here:
