All adults over the age of 18 in the state of Florida will have access to the COVID-19 vaccine starting Monday - while some teenagers will also have access.
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the eligibility move last month, lowering the age to 40 and older last Monday and lowering it even further to 18 and older starting April 5th.
On Monday, anyone ages 16 and 17 will be able to receive a vaccine for that one day at the FEMA site located at Miami-Dade College. At the Hard Rock Stadium Division of Emergency Management’s site, anyone ages 16 and over may receive a COVID vaccine starting Monday.
In order to receive the vaccine, the teen must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and show proof that the person is in fact a parent or legal guardian with either a birth certificate or court document.
