The convention center now offers 4,000 photos a day, from 3,000 Monday through Saturday.

Appointments can be made by registering at patientportalfl.com.

Monday marked the first day that age eligibility has declined to allow all adults and teens access to photography. Across Central Florida, vaccination sites have seen long lines and large crowds.

The FEMA site on Valencia’s Western Campus was left without its first photos at about 1 p.m. That location and other FEMA sites in the state offer Johnson & Johnson only the first dose starting Tuesday morning.

FEMA officials said the plan is to deliver 5,000 Johnson & Johnson shots on Tuesday. As of 2:40 p.m., there were plenty of other doses.
