Where to get COVID vaccines in Broward: UPDATED

COVID vaccines are now available for all Broward residents 12 and older, and people want to know where they can get a COVID vaccine. The vaccine is free for all to receive, even if you don't have insurance. Teens 12 to 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 government sites.

It has easy to get a COVID vaccine appointment in Broward. There are a number of walk-in or drive-through sites open every day, no appointments required, and most pharmacies no longer require appointments. Now that boosters have been approved for many Americans, you may need an appointment at some sites, and it may take a few days for websites to be updated and boosters to become available.

Several jurisdictions are offering incentives to get vaccinated:

• The City of Pompano Beach is offering $200 Visa gift cards to Pompano Beach residents who become fully vaccinated after June 22, 2021. The program runs through Oct. 31. You can sign up here..
• Get a free ride to a vaccination site via Lyft (up to $15 each way). Find the details here.

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.

So far, three vaccines have been approved for use in the United States, and all are being given in South Florida. Residents receive two doses of Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of J&J. Immunocompromised people may receive three doses or Moderna or J&J, and boosters are recommended for certain people who received the Pfizer vaccine.

• Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine requires two doses, 21 days apart. Click on the link to learn more about how this vaccine works. Boosters are recommended for some people.

• Johnson & Johnson's Janssen vaccine. This vaccine requires only one dose. Boosters are recommended for those who received this vaccine.

Who should get a booster, or third vaccine?

People who are severely immunocompromised and received two Pfizer or Moderna vaccines should get a third dose of their previous vaccine. These include people receiving cancer treatment, organ transplant recipients, stem cell transplant recipients, those with moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency, those with active or untreated HIV and people using high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress the immune response.

People 18 to 64 who received the Pfizer vaccine at least six months ago should get a third dose if they meet these criteria:

• 65 and older
• Resident of a long-term care facility
• Have a health condition that puts them at risk.
• Have a job that puts them at increased risk, such as health-care workers and essential workers.

People who received the J&J vaccine or people who received the Moderna vaccine will become eligible for boosters in the next few days.

Proof of residency is no longer required. You may be asked for a photo ID that proves your age, and you may be asked if you are a resident of Florida or if you are working or doing business in Florida. No work documents will be required. Children 12-17 will be asked for proof of age, and parents may need to show ID.
