STATEWIDE – Publix is reopening its online reservation system for COVID-19 vaccinations on Wednesday and Friday for inquiries at 273 stores in 20 Florida counties, including Orange, Osceola, Lake, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota , Seminole and Sumter Counties.
What do you need to know
- Publix will open its COVID vaccination portal on Wednesday and Friday
- To start, 273 stores in 20 municipalities will consult
- The number of photos in each store also varies
- Delivery times were interrupted by winter storms last week
Devastating winter storms last week disrupted shipping schedules and resulted in fewer stores being able to offer appointments. The number of bookings available at each store will also vary, announced Publix.
Customers scheduled for the second dose are unaffected and must follow the instructions provided after the first vaccination.
Individuals aged 65 and over can schedule vaccine appointments. Appointments are mandatory, but as there is no residence restriction in the county, clients can go to neighboring counties for available consultations.
Unless the vaccine supply is interrupted, the Publix online booking system usually opens every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 am, but reservations may not be available in all stores on those days. The reservation system page contains the most up-to-date information.
Health insurance customers must bring their insurance cards for the scheduled appointment. Medicare members must bring their red, white and blue Medicare Part B card. Customers without health insurance must provide their driver’s license or Social Security number.
