(WSVN) - Monroe County residents now have additional locations to access the COVID-19 vaccine.

Two Winn-Dixie locations are currently offering the vaccine: Key West (2778 N. Roosevelt Blvd.) and another in Tavernier (92100 Overseas Highway).

According to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office, Miami-Dade County Winn-Dixie supermarkets will soon be offering the vaccine, as well. There’s no word yet on Broward County, however.

Appointments are required at each location and can be made on the pharmacy’s website: www.winndixie.com/pharmacy/covid-vaccine.

The following persons are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida, by appointment only:

  • healthcare personnel with direct patient contact
  • residents and staff of long-term care facilities
  • adults aged 65 years and older

The next phase of who will be vaccinated is unknown at this time and will be announced by the State of Florida.
