The new year brings new hope for good health for our community.

I am pleased to share that COVID-19 vaccinations are available in Palm Beach County through the Florida Department of Health for long-term care facility staff, persons 65 years of age and older, and healthcare personnel with direct patient contact, per the Governor’s Executive Order 20-315.

The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County and the Health Care District of Palm Beach County are distributing the vaccine by appointment only. To make an appointment, send an email to chd50feedback@flhealth.gov. Be sure to include your name, phone number, and date of birth. If you have questions about the vaccine, make sure you speak with your primary care provider before you receive it.
