The coronavirus vaccine pilot program with Publix continues to expand as Florida receives more vaccine doses.
The COVID-19 vaccine is now available at select Publix stores in 43 different counties throughout the state, but the appointments fill up quickly.
With appointment booking systems differing from county-to-county, it can be confusing to know where to go. Here’s how you can book a coronavirus vaccine appointment at your local Publix:
Step 1: Those eligible to receive the vaccine can log onto the Publix COVID-19 website when the appointment window opens.
Step 2: Once logged on, wait for appointment availability on your page. The top of the page will change from saying “waiting” to “book now.” Make sure you don’t refresh the page, as it will update on its own.
Step 3: Then follow the on-screen cues to choose a time and location, and review your confirmation email after your appointment is booked.
Publix coronavirus vaccine appointments can only be scheduled online and cannot be made over the phone.
The grocery-giant also made some updates to their appointment website to make the process smoother for those looking to be inoculated.
Seniors entering the site will now clearly be able to discern if they are on the booking page or the waiting page. There will also be a notification once the reservation system is fully booked and closed.
You can visit the Publix COVID-19 website to see if your county is on the list.
