According to the Hillsborough County Emergency Operations Center, people vaccinated January 6 through 9 or January 13 through 15 will be contacted to confirm their second appointment.

People who received their first injection at any of Hillsborough Countys public vaccination sites (ie. Ed Radice Sports Complex, Strawberry Festival grounds, University Mall, or Vance Vogel Sports Complex) during those time frames will be able to return to those sites for their second dose.

People returning for second doses must bring a valid photo ID with their name and date of birth and the COVID-19 Vaccine Record Card that was issued to them during their first injection.

Appointments are mandatory to receive a receive. No walk-ups will be accepted.
