Vaccine Clinics Planned At Airport For Travelers, Employees

MIAMI, FL — Pfizer vaccines will be available at Miami International Airport to airport employees, their family and friends, and travelers who live or work in Florida, Monday through Thursday, as well as June 1-4 and 7, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The vaccine clinic is part of Miami-Dade County’s effort to make the COVID-19 vaccine accessible to the county’s hospitality and tourism sector, the county said in a news release.

There will be two vaccination sites set up at the airport during the scheduled times:

• Concourse D, 4th Floor Auditorium, upstairs from Door 1
• A drive-thru location at 75 Bus Road, Miami, FL 33102 (MIA taxi overflow lot)

“We are committed to making it as easy and convenient as possible for those who live or work in Miami-Dade to get vaccinated, which is why I am so excited that we will soon be vaccinating at MIA, the daily workplace for more than 36,000 of our travel industry employees,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said. “Vaccination is our single best tool to beat this pandemic and truly get our community and our economy back to normal.”

Individuals 18 years of age or older who live or work in Florida may receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as outlined by the state of Florida. Minors 16 and 17 years of age may receive the Pfizer vaccine but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to the vaccination site.

Miami-Dade County offers a pre-registration system to expedite the vaccination process for eligible individuals who complete a one-time online registration or call 305-614-2014. Anyone who does not pre-register may have a longer wait at the vaccination site. If you are deaf, hard of hearing or a TTY user, you may also call 711 (Florida Relay Service) or email 311@miamidade.gov for assistance.

The Pfizer vaccine requires a second dose after 21 days. Individuals will need to bring their COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card and a government-issued ID to their second vaccination appointment.
