Miami-Dade Allowing Vaccine Distribution at County Run Sites to All School Personnel

With growing calls for COVID vaccinations to be opened to more people, Miami-Dade County will begin to offer doses to all school personnel.

Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced the decision late Tuesday, saying it’s “critical that no available vaccines go unused."

It's critical that we distribute vaccines as efficiently as possible to protect all our educators and first responders. Prioritizing school personnel for vaccination, following state and federal guidance, is key to helping our community get back to normal.

The vaccine will be distributed to all school employees, regardless of age, only at facilities run by the county. Those wishing to receive the vaccine must still make an appointment.
