COVID-19 cases are rising again all over the country, and nearly all new hospitalizations and deaths have been attributed to those who are unvaccinated. At a White House Covid briefing on Friday, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky warned of a "pandemic among the unvaccinated" as cases increased to about 70% over the last week.
In response, the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County is offering appointments for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson’s Jannsen COVID-19 vaccine at three Miami-Dade locations.
The vaccines will be offered by appointment at the following locations:
