My advice to everyone is Be Prepared before you log onto the Publix web site. Because once you finally get a chance to sign in, you are in a race to get an appointment booked before everyone else in Florida. And because this state has more seniors which are eligible for the vaccine now, you are in a race against a LOT of people. I took the advice from the TOTV post titled "A "Gambler’s Guide" to Booking a Vaccination with Publix" and used that as a guide to prepare "IF" I was able to get in. I also printed a list of stores from the Publix website and selected a store in Ocala that looked to be away from the big retirement communities with a LOT of senior that you are competing with (e.g. The Villages, Top of the World, and Del Webb). I thought a lot of people would select the close stores because it would be near to them. There are 2 Publix stores near Silver Springs which I considered and I chose Heather Island Plaza. Volusia county had a lot of vaccine appointments available when I started, but I was concerned that all of the people along the coast would be trying to get into one of those.
