West Campus
After the pause of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the West Campus state/FEMA COVID site is now administering first doses of the Pfizer vaccine to persons 16 years and older (16 and 17-year-olds must be accompanied by a parent/guardian and complete the consent form available on-site or here), as well as guaranteed second doses.
If you’re scheduled for your second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, please do your best to keep your appointment. Also, please bring your vaccination card to your appointment.
Vaccines are being distributed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or as long as supplies are available each day. Individuals are served on a first-come, first-served, walk-up basis. When coming to the West Campus for the vaccine, please remember to use the North entrance (the entrance nearest Wawa).
Although pre-registration is not necessary, the state has a preregistration system for COVID-19 vaccinations. To preregister in Florida, individuals can either call the designated phone number for their county or visit myvaccine.fl.gov.
