Residents under the age of 65 who are considered “extremely vulnerable” to COVID-19 by a doctor – Keep in mind that not all sites will take these patients. Hospitals, doctors and pharmacists can administer vaccines to patients they consider vulnerable. Three Miami-Dade-supported FEMA sites also offer vaccines to vulnerable patients, who must have this specific form signed by a physician to be eligible. (Other state sites, including Hard Rock Stadium and Marlins Park, do not yet vaccinate vulnerable patients under the age of 65.) Gov. Ron DeSantis said doctors’ offices will begin receiving Johnson & Johnson doses they can administer to their patients. who need. Talk to your doctor and also check if the site where you want to get vaccinated has vulnerable patients under 65 years of age.
