More than 200 Publix stores in Florida have COVID vaccines. Here is the growing list

More than 240 Publix stores across Florida now have COVID-19 vaccines available, including locations in Palm Beach and Monroe counties.

Miami-Dade and Broward stores still aren’t on the list but because Florida doesn’t have a statewide residency requirement, seniors 65 and older can go to another county to get the vaccine.

Vaccines are available by appointment-only at Publix pharmacies on the list. Appointments can only be made online at publix.com/covid-vaccine/florida. New appointment slots opened Wednesday.

Which Publix stores in Florida have COVID-19 vaccines available?

In South Florida, all 67 Publix pharmacies in Palm Beach County have vaccines available. In the Florida Keys, two stores — one in Islamorada and one in Key West — have doses available.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Tuesday that there are now 242 Publix pharmacies in 18 Florida counties that are carrying the vaccine.

Here’s the list:

How hard is COVID-19 hitting selected counties for Publix vaccines?

Across the 18 counties that will offer vaccines in Publix stores, most have seen fewer than 30,000 cases and 1,000 deaths.

With the inclusion of Lee and Palm Beach counties this week, hot zones and epicenters of the virus are being included in the Publix vaccination store list.

Do Publix vaccine appointments fill-up fast?

Like many vaccinations sites across the state, Publix vaccination appointments become booked quickly.

As of 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, all appointments were booked across the 18 counties. Those wanting an appointment will have to wait until 6 a.m. Friday when slots reopen for dates beginning on Saturday, according to the Publix website.

Several Miami Herald readers have said they experienced long wait times in “virtual queues” that ultimately didn’t lead to an appointment.

To increase chances of getting an appointment, be on the Publix website early and refresh often.
