Other Tampa Bay Publix sites will soon be offering coronavirus vaccines to patients 65 and older, the grocery chain said on Tuesday.
Pinellas and Pasco counties have been added to the vaccination program of the Lakeland Company, which offers the Moderna vaccine at select Publix sites.
Florida residents aged 65 or older are eligible and can begin booking appointments online Wednesday starting at 6 a.m. Other slots will be available Friday at 7 a.m. Meetings will start Thursday and end on Wednesday February 11.
Hillsborough County stores have yet to be added. Hernando County sites already offer the vaccine. Nassu County was also added to the schedule on Tuesday.
The new additions bring Publix’s vaccination program to 325 stores in 23 counties across the state.
“We understand how many people in our communities want to receive this essential vaccine, and it is our privilege to administer doses to residents of Florida,” CEO Todd Jones said in a statement. “With each distribution, we remain grateful for the role we are able to play in helping to protect the health and safety of as many people as possible in our communities.
The latest Publix vaccine offers are part of a partnership with the state.
Publix spokeswoman Maria Brous confirmed that Publix was also a partner in the new federal immunization program, but said the company was waiting for more details, such as the number of doses it would receive. She said the retailer expected to continue receiving vaccines from the state as well.
Publix listed 19 Pasco stores and 42 Pinellas stores as participating in the latest rollout.
Appointments must be made in advance. People wishing to be vaccinated must bring proof of residence to receive the vaccine and can register for appointments at publix.com/covidvaccine.
