The City of Fort Lauderdale is launching Take Your Shot - a community campaign to offer COVID-19 vaccines as major events return.

“This is a great opportunity for people that have been unable or hesitant to get a vaccine to now get one,” Mayor Dean Trantalis said. “By delivering the vaccines to places where groups of people are will allow us to put the pandemic behind us, sooner rather than later.”  

The program will kick off Friday, May 14 with a pop-up vaccine site at the Shane Duncan Band concert at Huizenga Plaza (32 E. Las Olas Blvd., Ft. Lauderdale) presented by the City of Fort Lauderdale and Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale. The Florida Department of Health in Broward County will administer first dose Pfizer vaccines from 6-8 p.m. Funky Buddha Brewery will be handing out coupons for anyone getting a shot. Vaccines are available for children ages 12 and over and adults. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with documentation (birth certificate, guardianship papers, etc.).

On May 29, a vaccine pop-up site (for ages 12 and up) will be offered at the MASS District (Music & Arts South of Sunrise) FTLArtwalk starting at 6 p.m. https://tockify.com/massdistrict/detail/4/1622325600000

Walmart will be giving vaccines at Carter Park Jamz (1450 W. Sunrise Blvd., Fort Lauderdale) on June 18. The event starts at 7 p.m.

Additional community vaccination events will be announced as they are scheduled.
