Here Is Escambia County’s Vaccine Distribution Plan For The Week, And How To Register

February 8, 2021

The Florida Department of Health in Escambia County has announced this week’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan.

Vaccines allocated by the state are being distributed through county health departments, which are receiving an allocation based on their county’s percentage of Florida’s over-65 population. FDOH-Escambia received an allocation of 2,500 doses of the COVID-19 Moderna vaccine for the week.

The doses will be distributed as follows:

  • Ascension Sacred Heart: 500 doses
  • Baptist Health Care: 500 doses
  • Community Health Northwest Florida: 800 doses
  • FDOH-Escambia: 500 doses
  • West Florida Hospital: 200 doses

Some appointments will be scheduled using the statewide preregistration system. FDOH-Escambia and partner organizations are in the process of contacting individuals to schedule appointments, do not contact the providers directly for these appointments.

To register, Escambia County residents age 65 and over can call the state preregistration number at (866) 201-1025 or register online at myvaccine.fl.gov. The state has established a help line at (833) 959-0217 for those who need to make changes to their original preregistration.

Residents who previously completed FDOH-Escambia’s online interest form do not need to call or email to confirm their registration. Those registrations have been transferred to the new state system.

    I have a 91 yo mom who has mobility issues. Escambia county seems to be the only one in the State that is not offering drive up vaccinations.
    First come, first served is ridiculous for someone her age, I have tried to register her (and myself) at both the state and local sites. I received one email over three weeks ago and nothing since.
    This is awful.

    Does anyone know about the distribution plan for Escambia Co, Alabama, in Brewton? I had seen that the next 3 Fridays you could go to DW McMillan Hospital and didn’t need appointment. Then suddenly that was shown as “no vaccine available unless by appointment”, yet no way was given to make an appointment by phone or online. Strange. And I am getting messages that at 67, it should be available for me.

    @James Anthony Floyd~ But the guy installed by Democrats prioritizes terrorists in GITMO, illegals, and felons?

    florida has done fine with the 65 and older. the supply of vaccine has been slow. talk to the democrats running the government on that.

    Y’all are surprised at this? This is exactly what happens to a state that keeps electing Republicans. Inefficiency, graft and waste.

    This is Escambia County’s Vaccine Distribution Plan For The Week,
    Not odd for it to not show other counties plans.

    Glad this happened.

    Any news about when others will have an opportunity to get vaccinated?

    I find this very odd. The county I live in has a population of over 1 million and gets no vaccine.
