Where to get COVID vaccines in Broward: UPDATED

COVID vaccines are now available for all Broward residents 16 and older, and people want to know where they can get a COVID vaccine. The vaccine is free for all to receive. Teens 16 and 17 can receive only the Pfizer vaccine, and most sites require a parent or guardian to be present. They will also need this consent form at state sites.

Most sites don’t open appointments far in advance, and it has become much easier to get a COVID vaccine appointment in Broward. There are a number of walk-in sites open every day, no appointments required, and community vaccine clinics. The Florida Department of Health is no longer requiring appointments to get a vaccine at its sites (mostly drive-throughs at county parks).

This is your guide to finding a COVID vaccine in Broward County and throughout South Florida. We update this guide when sites open or close or we get new information.

With all the major pharmacies offering vaccines, plus government and community sites, it is getting easier to find a vaccine in Broward County. Some sites don’t even require appointments.
