Anyone 60-65 found a way to register for vaccine next week?? Wife is 62.

No, and if you pre-registered on my vaccine.fl.gov they will send you emails that allow you to register for this week, but despite them even having a 60 and over category on their signup, neither GMR or the Lake Sumter college site will vaccinate you. If you do get the emails I suggest you save the for Saturday night and then sign in and see if they give you options for next week.

My husband and I were both able to sign up for appointment through Publix for next week. (We're both between 60-64) Hubby asked when he was at Publix the day after the announcement and was told we could try this morning starting at 7am for an appt next week, so that's what we did. Both of us had to hang out online for 2+ hours before the "Book Now" button showed up, but we now have appointments for Tuesday! Two different locations, because I got in about a minute before he did, but neither is very far away. The process was a little nerve-wracking, but we're very happy to have those appointments! We were given appts for the 2nd shot at the same time (same location & time slot).

If you sign up on a Monday or Friday, you get the Moderna. If you sign up on Wednesday, you get the J&J. (Day you make the appointment, I mean, not the day you get the shot) They currently only open online for appointments MWF at 7am.

When DeSantis announced five days ago that 60+ folks could get their shots starting this Monday I signed hubby up at myvaccine.fl.gov/ with the option for people who don't currently meet the requirements but want to be on a waiting list. Got an email this evening to book him an appointment. I had to check the box that said he was 60 or older. His appointment is on Wednesday morning in Leesburg.

I'm hoping they are still doing Pfizer (which is what I got there). Anecdotally, it seems that more folks have side effects with their second Moderna shot vs Pfizer. In any case, I'm thrilled that he will be vax'd soon. Can't wait to head up north and see that cute little grandson! I know many of you feel the same.

Are you eligible for vaccine in Florida if you're 62, own a home at The Villages, but is a snowbird who doesn't reside here 6 months?

YES. We became residents in 2020 and have Florida driver's license. We own our home in the Villages.

You are eligible. You do have to bring two forms of proof.

The state of Florida requires that those receiving their first vaccine dose provide proof of residency meeting criteria 1, 2, or 3 below.

Valid Florida driver license issued by Florida State Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
OR
Valid Florida identification card issued by Florida State Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
OR
If a customer cannot present #1 or #2, the customer can prove satisfactory Florida residency by presenting a copy of any two of the following items if they reflect a Florida residential address (Note: A P.O. box or commercial/business address is not sufficient and the second item must be from a different category than the first item):
Category A: a deed, mortgage, monthly mortgage statement, mortgage payment booklet, OR residential rental or lease agreement
Category B: a utility hookup or utility work order dated within 60 days before the date of vaccination
Category C: a utility bill dated within two months of the date of vaccination
Category D: mail from a financial institution, including checking, savings, or investment account statements, dated within two months of the date of vaccination
Category E: mail from a federal, state, county, or municipal government agency, dated within two months of the date of vaccination
Category F: proof of a Florida residential address for the individual’s parent, stepparent, legal guardian, or other person with whom the seasonal resident resides in Florida, PLUS a written statement from the person with whom the seasonal resident resides stating that the seasonal resident does reside with him or her.
