The following information was pulled from https://www.omnihealthcare.com
The Department of Health (DOH) is controlling the distribution of the vaccine here in Florida and we will do our best to keep you updated on if and when the vaccine will be made available to clinics for distribution. Omni healthcare has been an integral part of covid testing in Brevard County and I believe they are taking reservations for anticipated administration of the vaccine in upcoming weeks.
Both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are currently being administered. Several others are looking promising for emergency approval in the near future.
Because the supply of COVID-19 vaccine will be limited at first, CDC recommends that initial supplies of the vaccine be allocated to certain individuals at risk for contracting the virus. In the initial phase of vaccine distribution, OMNI Healthcare plans to vaccinate healthcare workers in Brevard County and OMNI patients who are over 65 or over 50 with a chronic illness. The Centers for Disease Control specifies chronic illness as obesity, severe obesity, diabetes, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia / COP, heart condition, chronic kidney, cancer, smoking, solid organ transplant, and sickle cell disease.
If you would like to sign up for the vaccine now, the process to sign up through OMNI is simple. Call the OMNI Healthcare COVID-19 Center at (321) 802- 5515.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility while we work toward a solution to this pandemic. We will keep you updated on this site and www.COVID19vaccinebrevard.com as more information is released.
