Florida COVID-19 online vaccine scheduling reopens for 273 stores
Feb. 23, 2021
After receiving additional vaccine doses, we are reopening the online reservation system on Wednesday, Feb. 24, for COVID-19 vaccination appointments at 273 stores in 20 Florida counties. Last week’s inclement weather disrupted shipping timelines, resulting in fewer stores having appointment availability. The number of appointments available at each store will also vary. Customers with appointments for their second dose are not impacted and should check in at the COVID-19 vaccine check-in area at their scheduled date and time.
The online reservation system will typically open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning for vaccine appointments at our Florida pharmacies, as long as we continue to receive vaccine doses from the state and federal governments and barring unforeseen circumstances. Appointments may not be available in every county during every scheduling opportunity. The most up-to-date information about Publix’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts can be found at publix.com/covidvaccine.
Eligibility
In accordance with the state’s guidelines, vaccinations are currently being provided to individuals ages 65 and older.
Appointments

Appointments cannot be made by calling Publix or the Publix Pharmacy. The system will open Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 7 a.m. Eastern time for appointments Friday, Feb. 26.
