Demand Is Outpacing Coronavirus Vaccine Supply In Coral Gables

From the City of Coral Gables:

January 19, 2021

The City of Coral Gables Division of Emergency Management is coordinating closely with Miami-Dade County Government, the Florida Department of Health (DOH) and community health partners to provide access to vaccination for our residents.

With the limited number of vaccinations our City was allotted, our Fire Department deployed a preliminary plan for the vaccination of a small number of residents over the age of 65; in accordance with the guidance set forth by the State of Florida and the CDC. Currently demand is outpacing the vaccine supply; however, the City continues to work on any and all opportunities that may provide access to the vaccine for our residents.

Please note that we cannot determine when additional vaccines will be available, as a result; we are not compiling a list. The City of Coral Gables will continue to ensure its residents remain informed and updated on the latest Covid-19 developments as this is an everchanging situation. We strongly encourage residents interested in getting vaccinated, to visit coralgables.com/COVID for activated vaccination locations.
