BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) (News App readers click here) — The Publix COVID-19 vaccine appointment system opens again at 7 a.m. today (Friday). And there are new rules in place.
Starting now, anyone in Florida who falls into any of these categories qualifies for a COVID-19 shot:
Age 65 or over.
Teachers, K-12, Daycare and preschool workers, and staff members. (You no longer have to be 50).
Healthcare worker, EMS
Age 16+ with a signed Determination of Extreme Vulnerability Form.
Age 50+ sworn law enforcement officer or Firefighter.
While the Publix system opens at 7 a.m., the same rules apply if you register for a shot at CVS, Walmart, Sam’s Club or Winn Dixie.
