Are you looking for a COVID-19 test or vaccine on Memorial Day weekend?

Whether you need it to travel or to gather with family, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting a nose swab or a shot during the holiday stretch in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

While sites are open their regular hours on Saturday and Sunday, some are closed or have reduced hours on Monday, Memorial Day.

In Broward County, for example, the Broward health department-run COVID test and vaccine sites will be closed on Monday. That means you’ll have to visit a retail pharmacy or a site in neighboring Miami-Dade County. Another option is to find a retail pharmacy that’s open. And if what you need is a test, you could always buy an at-home kit.

Here’s how to find open COVID-19 test and vaccine sites in Miami-Dade:
