COVID-19 Vaccine Update 
As the COVID-19 vaccine supply becomes more widely available, eligibility guidelines are expanding and updating rapidly. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis expanded vaccine availability to people age 60 and over starting on Monday, March 15. Stay tuned to local media and these official websites as we expect to see eligibility open up even more in the next few weeks.  

• FEMA Vaccination Information 
• FloridaDisaster.org: the state’s Division of Emergency Management website provides links to the Governor’s Executive Orders, federal, state and retail pharmacy vaccination sites, FAQs, and more. 
• Volusia County Vaccination Information: this website contains county vaccine information and links to retail pharmacies offering vaccinations. 
• Patientportalfl.com sign up for a vaccine appointment at Florida’s patient portal. 
• myvaccine.fl.gov: preregister for COVID-19 vaccine.  

Orange County expanded the vaccination categories available in that county for Florida residents to include educators in all schools and any employee of a law enforcement, corrections or fire department regardless of age. For more information, visit the Orange County Government Vaccine Information website.   

For information about the FEMA site in West Orlando, visit the Orange County Vaccination Sites website. At this time, the Federal Vaccination site at Valencia College West Campus is walk-ups only (no appointments). The FEMA site operates 7 days a week, 7 a.m.-7 p.m.  

Continue to check these links to see if you meet the expanded qualifications. If you have received your COVID-19 vaccine already (first dose, completed two-dose series, or single dose), please submit your vaccination record using this form. This data is a vital component of our decision-making process and helps to safeguard our community.
