01-21-21 VACCINE THROUGH FL DEPT. OF HEALTH
IN THE NEW STATE COVID-19 VACCINE
APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING SYSTEM
The Florida Department of Health in Broward County (DOH-Broward) is now included in the new State COVID-19 vaccine appointment scheduling system. Appointments for DOH-Broward COVID-19 vaccination sites can be scheduled using the system starting immediately. Seniors ages 65 and older, and frontline healthcare workers, can call (866) 201-6313 to request an appointment. For those requiring TTY access, the phone number is (833) 476-1526. When people call the appointment number, they will be asked through an automated system to enter information using their telephone keypad. Live agents will call people back to make appointments until all current appointments are filled.
People who receive their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine at DOH-Broward sites through this new appointment system will be asked to schedule their second dose through this new system.
People who received their first dose of vaccine at a DOH-Broward site without making an appointment in this new appointment system do not need to make an appointment for their second dose. They should return to the same site on the date written on their vaccination card at the same time as they arrived for their first dose. Other than these individuals receiving their second dose, no one will be served without an appointment. “So far, of the 100,090 doses of COVID-19 vaccine provided in Broward County, 53,295 have been provided at DOH-Broward managed sites in partnership with Broward County, municipalities, BSO, and municipal law enforcement and EMS/Fire Rescue. We are looking forward to continuing to serve and protect our seniors and frontline healthcare workers via the new State appointment scheduling system,” said Dr. Paula Thaqi, Director of DOH-Broward.

01-20-21 REGISTER FOR VACCINATIONS AT ALL WEST PALM BEACH PUBLIX
01-17-21 AFTER VACCINATION PROTOCOL
Health officials from Dr. Anthony Fauci on down are cautioning people that no one can dump the the face masks and social distancing behavior just because they’ve been vaccinated. That’s because even people who are themselves immune to the virus might be exposed to it and transmit it to others. It can grow in the nose, says Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“It’s possible that someone could get the vaccine but could still be an asymptomatic carrier,” said CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician. “They may not show symptoms, but they have the virus in their nasal passageway so that if they’re speaking, breathing, sneezing and so on, they can still transmit it to others.” Given these unanswered questions, the CDC says vaccinated people should still use “all the tools available to us” to stop the pandemic, including wearing a mask and staying at least 6 feet away from others.

All DOH-Broward appointments available are filled at this time. The appointment registration website, BrowardCOVIDVaccine.com, will resume operations as soon as more appointment times are available.

4) Once individuals receive their first dose of vaccine, they are given a scheduled time to return for their second dose. It is very important to return for the second dose at the time instructed to do so.
5) The initial availability of vaccine does not reduce the need for ongoing testing, which is available for free at 12 locations in Broward County. Test Collection Site Locations
