COVID-19 Vaccines

Miami-Dade County is coordinating closely with hospital and healthcare partners, the Florida Department of Health, municipalities, and private partners including CVS and Walgreens to vaccinate members of our community against the coronavirus (COVID-19) as quickly and efficiently as possible.

According to state guidelines, the top priority for vaccination – following long-term care residents and staff and frontline healthcare workers – are Miami-Dade County residents age 65 and older.

We are working hard to provide updated information about where vaccines are currently available and to answer frequently asked questions about the vaccine. Please check this site frequently as updates will be provided as they become available.
