Hard Rock Stadium to Become No Appointment Vaccine Site, Expanding Hours Beginning Monday
FEMA Master Public Information Officer Mike Jachles announced that starting on Monday, Hard Rock Stadium will begin administering the Pfizer vaccine to Florida residents without the need of an appointment.
He also announced that the stadium will be expanding its hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
While there's no appointment required, Jachles urged eligible Florida residents to use the vaccination portal to preregister for the vaccine before arriving for their shot to cut down wait times.
Hard Rock Stadium will also be inoculating 16 and 17-year-olds because the vaccine has been approved for that age group.
Teens must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and must have a birth certificate or legal documentation for identification and proof that the person is the parent or legal guardian.
