Palm Beach County, FL - The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County has announced that it is not yet opting in to the statewide COVID-19 vaccination appointment system announced earlier today.

The website myvaccine.fl.gov is open and available for Palm Beach County residents, but at this time, appointments are not available in Palm Beach County for those registering in this system.

Dr. Alina Alonso, Director of DOH-Palm Beach: "Our primary focus is completing our original chd50feedback emailed waitlist through the Health Care District of Palm Beach County. We prefer that the public wait until we can give them actual appointments."

Additional updates on local vaccine distribution will be communicated through website palmbeach.floridahealth.gov, twitter account @HealthyFLPBC, and local media.

For any questions about the vaccine, the State COVID-19 Call Center can be reached by calling 1-866-779-6121 or emailing COVID-19@flhealth.gov and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or visit floridahealthcovid19.gov.
