Important Information Regarding COVID-19 Vaccination Appointments

The Florida Department of Health in Pasco County (DOH-Pasco) will continue using its current vaccination enrollment process with CDR Maguire instead of opting into the new statewide registration system at this time. Local seniors who have enrolled with the local registration system do not need to enroll in the new state system.

Seniors 65 and older who have registered on the CDR Maguire Patient Portal can book available appointments at patientportalfl. com for COVID-19 vaccines beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday to get a vaccination appointment for the week of Feb. 1. At this time, the demand is greater than the supply, so appointments will go very quickly. Please be prepared and be patient.

The State of Florida released information about a registration system at myvaccine.fl.gov. This website is independent of signups available this coming Sunday for Pasco County vaccination appointments. Registering at that site DOES NOT REPLACE signing up at the Patient Portal. The My Vaccine website is independent of how DOH-Pasco will provide vaccine appointments at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.

If you also wish to sign up at the state’s My Vaccine system, it’s optional, but will not get you an appointment in Pasco County because the myvaccine.fl.gov system is not yet in use in here in Pasco County.

REMINDER: To get a vaccination appointment for the week of Feb. 1, you must use the CDR Maguire Patient Portal at patientportalfl.com. Appointments will “go live” for DOH-Pasco at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 31.

For additional information on DOH-Pasco’s vaccination operations, please visit Pasco.FloridaHealth.gov.

DOH-Pasco requests, before contacting the health department directly, please visit our COVID-19 Vaccination Distribution webpage and for frequently asked questions, visit our COVID-19 Vaccination FAQs webpage.
