With Florida possibly only days away from receiving its first doses of the much-anticipated COVID-19 vaccine, many people are wondering when they may be eligible to get the shot.

To find out your place, the tool asks you four questions: your age, what county you live in, if you work in certain high-priority fields, and if you have any COVID-19 related health risks.

The governor said he will prioritize residents of long-term care facilities, health care workers and, if there are enough doses, people 65 and older, as well as those who have significant comorbidities.
“Distributing a vaccine across a large and diverse state is a big challenge, but this is a major priority for the state of Florida,” he said.
