FLORIDA — Publix is reopening COVID-19 vaccine registrations online at its stores in Florida after receiving a shipment of vaccines, a Publix news release said.

Vaccination appointments will be available at 273 stores in 20 counties. Registration opens at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 24. Last week's inclement weather disrupted shipping timelines, resulting in fewer stores having appointment availability, Publix said. The number of appointments at each store will also vary. Customers with appointments for their second dose will not be impacted, and should check in at the COVID-19 vaccine check-in area at their scheduled time and date.

As long as the grocery store chain continues to receive vaccine doses from the state and federal governments and barring unforeseen circumstances, the online reservations system will open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning for vaccine appointments at Publix pharmacies.
