Tampa Mass Vaccination Site About To Open

The Tampa Bay Times reports a site has been chosen to administer the COVID-19 vaccine at University Mall. The Florida Department of Health and Florida Division of Emergency Management says it is a state-supported site and will vaccinate those 65 and older as well as health professions with the Pfizer vaccine.

The address to pop into the GPS is 2200 E Fowler Ave. in Tampa. You do need to make an appointment as they will not take walk-ups. Call 1-866-200-3896 to get one. They’ll be on site giving the vaccinations 7 days a week from 8am to 4pm.

They say another drive-through is likely to be announced soon, as early as tomorrow. [Source: Tampa Bay Times]
