COVID-19 Vaccination standby pool - Priority groups (65+)
The Department of Health in Manatee County will be offering vaccinations to full- or part-time Florida residents aged 65 and older by appointment only, as supply is available.
Manatee County is implementing a COVID-19 vaccine standby process that allows seniors ages 65 and older to avoid waiting lines by pre-registering by phone or online with the County if they're interested in receiving vaccines beginning to arrive locally.
Visit the Florida Department of Health's website to learn more about COVID-19 vaccinations in Florida.

Register online at vax.mymanatee.org anytime, or register by calling 311 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays.
Based on updated guidance from the state, vaccine recipients must be full- or part-time Florida residents. At your appointment, you will be required to show a valid Florida driver's license or ID card, part-time rental agreement or utility, cable or power bill in your name with a Florida address. (See full list of acceptable documentation of residency.) Manatee County residence is not required, but vaccine recipients must remain in or return to Manatee County for their second dose (28 days after the first appointment). NOTE: Vaccine eligibility is determined at the state level by the Governor's requirements.
Please be aware that fraudulent websites are marketing COVID-19 vaccines to the Manatee County public. Do not register for a vaccine using any link other than through this web page. Registration is free.
If you have questions related to COVID-19 or the vaccine, please contact the Manatee County Department of Health.
