St. Johns County reopens appointments for COVID-19 vaccines

County taking over vaccinations from St. Johns health dept

After announcing Thursday evening that appointments for the latest allotment of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines had been filled, St. Johns County reopened the appointment windows Friday morning.

St. Johns County said earlier this week that it received another 3,900 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine from the state. The county confirmed to News4Jax that it also received a shipment on Monday that had been delayed by weather, which is why appointment slots reopened Friday morning.

Just before 9:30 a.m. Friday, the county sent an alert saying registration was open for vaccination appointments on Feb. 22 or 24. They did not say how many slots would be available.

“You must be at least 65 years of age or older, or be a healthcare professional with direct patient contact to receive the vaccine,” the county said in its alerts.
