Atlantic Blvd., in Coral Springs, to help serve people on a Florida Department of Health waiting list. Access to new appointments will be limited until the state is able to deal with the backlog. Coral Spring Mall is not a drive-thru operation, so people are being cautioned to not show up at any of the sites unless they have an appointment.
The health department issued the following statement about making an appointment:
When the website is fixed, if you find that appointments are not available, please check back often as we are increasing the number of vaccination sites for seniors in Broward County in the coming weeks.
