The Florida Department of Health in Pasco County (DOH-Pasco), in partnership with Pasco County Emergency Management, Sears at the Gulf View Square Mall and Saint Leo University, continues to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to Florida residents. In an effort to keep the public aware of COVID-19 vaccine distribution, DOH-Pasco will continue to issue updates every week. 

Vaccine distribution locations continue to expand as Publix is now offering vaccines at 19 locations in Pasco County. Other retail pharmacies are anticipated to begin offering vaccines as well, such as Winn-Dixie and Walmart. 

Anyone 65 and older who needs the COVID-19 vaccination must go to patientportalfl.com or call 1-844-770-8548 and create an account with CDR Maguire: Health & Medical (CDR Maguire). It is required to have an account with CDR Maguire to register for a vaccination appointment. 

Vaccination appointments will open for registration on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. An appointment is mandatory to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. Please be aware that the demand for the COVID-19 vaccine is greater than the supply we have on hand, so appointments for vaccination fill up very quickly. 

Drive-thru vaccination clinic dates and locations for the week of Feb. 14 are the following:

• Saint Leo University: Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
  • 2,700 appointments are available
• Sears at Gulf View Square Mall: Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
  • 2,400 appointments are available 

DOH-Pasco will NOT be providing vaccinations at either location on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2021 or Sunday, Feb. 21, 2021. 

It is required to have a photo I.D. when checking in for all vaccination appointments. If the online patient portal was used to register for an appointment (instead of calling), those people should bring a printed or digital copy of the confirmation email they received containing a QR code (please refer to the pictures below).  

SECOND DOSE

Anyone who received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine through DOH-Pasco 28 days ago or more and has not received their second dose, can go to any of the locations listed above to receive their second dose. No appointment is required. They must bring a photo I.D and the vaccination card they were given when they received their first dose.

Do I need to be a resident of Florida to receive the COVID-19 vaccine?

State Surgeon General Scott Rivkees issued a Public Health Advisory on Jan. 21, 2021, prioritizing vaccines for residents of the State of Florida or individuals in Florida for the purpose of providing health care services involving direct contact with patients: bit.ly/397vhf3.
