April 01, 2021
Starting Monday, April 5, Florida residents ages 16 and older are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. We encourage, but do not require, associates to get vaccinated.
Publix Pharmacy administers the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, which are only authorized for individuals 18 years of age and older. Florida associates ages 16 and 17 are encouraged to find sites administering the Pfizer vaccine, which is approved for ages 16 and older.
Your Publix gift card
Associates who choose to be vaccinated can receive a $125 Publix gift card after completing the full COVID-19 vaccination. Visit the COVID-19 Vaccine page on PASSport for more details.
Appointments
Vaccinations are provided to individuals ages 18 and older by appointment only, while supplies last, through the online reservation system at publix.com/covidvaccine. Appointments cannot be made by calling Publix or the Publix Pharmacy.
You can access the online reservation system starting Friday, April 2, at 7 a.m. Eastern time for appointments beginning Tuesday, April 6. The system generally opens at 7 a.m. Eastern time on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for Florida appointments as follows, as long as we continue to receive vaccine doses and barring unforeseen circumstances. Appointments may not be available in every county during every scheduling opportunity:
