Although Gov. Ron DeSantis’ order extending the vaccination age in Florida to those 60 and older doesn’t go into effect until Monday, March 15, St. Johns County is already accepting COVID-19 vaccination appointment preregistration for those 60 and up.

The county is also taking preregistration for those deemed by a physician to be extremely vulnerable to COVID-19. They just need a Florida Department of Health COVID-19 Determination of Extreme Vulnerability form signed by the physician.
