It is not possible to make appointments by calling Publix or Publix Pharmacy.

The online booking system normally opens every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning for vaccine appointments at Publix Florida pharmacies, as long as the company continues to receive doses of vaccines from the state and federal governments, except in unforeseen circumstances. Last week, vaccine shipments were delayed due to weather conditions in other parts of the country.

Appointments may not be available in all counties during all scheduling opportunities, Publix said. Customers who book their second dose are unaffected by any variation in scheduling opportunities and must arrive at the COVID-19 vaccine check-in area at the scheduled date and time.
