ORLANDO, FL – All this week (Monday, May 17 thru Friday, May 21), the Florida Department of Health in Orange County has plenty of 1^st Dose COVID-19 Vaccination appointments available for ages 12 – 15 at the Orange County Convention Center.

To get an appointment, visit the CDR Health Pro website at www.patientportalfl.com.

A parent or legal guardian with identification must accompany any minor receiving a vaccine. In addition, a completed consent form is required.

Because this is the last week for the Department’s FREE, drive-through vaccination event at the convention center, those who receive 1^st Dose vaccinations will have to get their 2nd Dose at another location.

This offering of the vaccine to the 12 through 15-year-old age group was made possible due to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) recent granting of emergency use authorization for Pfizer vaccines for ages 12-15.
