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.
