The state of Florida has debuted a website where eligible Floridians can preregister for a COVID-19 vaccination.

The site, https://myvaccine.fl.gov, allows people to choose their county and "get in line."

"As we await additional vaccine supply from the Federal Government, we urge currently eligible Florida residents to save their place in line by pre-registering today," the website reads.

Those eligible to get a vaccination in Florida include people 65 and older, long-term care facility residents and staff, health-care personnel with direct COVID patient contact, and adults who have certain comorbid conditions that would make them extremely vulnerable.

The website allows residents to select their county and submit contact information. When appointments are available, residents will be contacted by phone, text, or email and will receive help in scheduling an appointment, according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

“You select the county you are in, and then click “get in line”, you will go to preregister for the Covid vaccine. They will ask for a name, email address, and a cell phone number,” said Florida Department of Health in Osceola Count spokesperson, Jeremy Lanier. “They are put on a waiting list, and then contacted when they appointments are available in their selected counties.”

People who don’t have internet access can call and preregister via a designated phone number for each county.

Officials point out that vaccine supply remains limited and that in some counties, appointments may not be available for several weeks.

The public demand for COVID-19 vaccinations has crashed and halted appointment systems and led to overnight car lines across the state. One vaccine distribution site at Daytona Stadium in Daytona Beach transitioned from a first-come, first-serve distribution system to a reservation system after seniors were showing up hours early and sleeping in their vehicles in 40-degree weather.

Two weeks ago, the Florida Department of Health launched a telephone reservation system as a pilot program in Miami-Dade County. Last week, the program was expanded to Hillsborough, Broward, Duval, and Lee counties.

Osceola has tried a number of ways to set up appointments include an email based system, but they will now use the state’s

“I think this appointment based system will be a lot easier to use,” said Lanier.

Ramon Rivera and his mother Carmen Rivera who live in Osceola County said they have  tried going to hospitals and using different websites to try to get an appointment. They haven’t found any luck yet.

“It's very challenging, it's very challenging and very hard,” said Ramon Rivera.

Rivera plans to try the site to get an appointment.

“I hope so for her she is 83, I am 40," he said. "I am only child in don't want to see her in the hospital.”

Officials from other counties like Seminole and Orange say they are happy how things are running and continue using their own websites.​

Gov. Ron DeSantis has pushed a "Seniors First" initiative, rolling out vaccination availability at Publix pharmacies in select counties.
