COVID-19 vaccinations available at MIA starting May 10

Employees and passengers living in Florida will have easy access to both doses

MIAMI ( May 14, 2021 )

As part of Miami-Dade County’s effort to make the COVID-19 vaccine more easily accessible to the County’s hospitality and tourism sector, Pfizer vaccines will be available at Miami International Airport to airport employees, their family and friends, and travelers who live or work in Florida, May 10-14, June 1-4, and June 7, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

MIA will have two vaccination sites during those dates and times:

1. Concourse D, 4th Floor Auditorium, upstairs from Door 1

2. Drive-through location: 75 Bus Road, Miami, FL 33102 (MIA taxi overflow lot)

“We are committed to making it as easy and convenient as possible for those who live or work in Miami-Dade to get vaccinated, which is why I am so excited that we will soon be vaccinating at MIA, the daily workplace for more than 36,000 of our travel industry employees,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Vaccination is our single best tool to beat this pandemic and truly get our community and our economy back to normal.”

Individuals 18 years of age or older who live or work in Florida may receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as outlined by the State of Florida. Minors 16 and 17 years of age may receive the Pfizer vaccine but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to the vaccination site.

Miami-Dade County offers a pre-registration system to expedite the vaccination process for eligible individuals who complete a one-time online registration or call 305-614-2014. Anyone who does not pre-register may have a longer wait at the vaccination site. If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or a TTY user, you may also call 711 (Florida Relay Service) or email [email protected] for assistance.

The Pfizer vaccine requires a second dose after 21 days. Individuals will need to bring their Centers for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card and a government-issued ID to their second vaccination appointment. To learn more about the County’s Vaccination Program, click here
