::CLOUDFLARE_ERROR_500S_BOX::
Miami-Dade County is coordinating closely with hospital and healthcare partners, the Florida Department of Health, municipalities, and private partners including CVS and Walgreens to vaccinate members of our community against the coronavirus (COVID-19) as quickly and efficiently as possible.
According to state guidelines, the top priority for vaccination – following long-term care residents and staff and frontline healthcare workers – are Miami-Dade County residents age 65 and older.
A limited number of vaccine appointments for seniors 65+ will be available Monday, January 11 starting at 2 p.m. Check here for an available appointment.
Vaccinations are by appointment only and walk-ups will not be accepted.
Miami-Dade Public Libraries provide internet and computer access for any members of the community not able to access the website from home.
We are working hard to provide updated information about where vaccines are currently available and to answer frequently asked questions about the vaccine. Please check this site frequently as updates will be provided as they become available.
Who can get vaccinated?
The first three groups to receive the vaccine according to current state guidance are:
- Long-term care facility residents and staff
- Persons 65 years of age and older
- Health care personnel with direct patient contact

What’s next after my first vaccine at Tropical Park?
If you received the Moderna vaccine at Tropical Park, you will require a second dose about one month (28 days) after the first vaccine according to FDA guidelines.
What's Next?
- You will receive an email or text message from us to schedule your next vaccination appointment.
- Retain the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card you received.
- You will need to bring your Centers for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card and a government issued ID to your second vaccination appointment.
Please keep in mind that even after receiving the vaccine, the CDC still recommends that you continue to wear a mask, social distance, and follow other public health precautions - it will take many months to immunize enough of the population to stop the spread.
