ORLANDO, Fla. — The city of Orlando just announced 14 more opportunities for people to get their COVID-19 vaccine in the city before the next school year starts.
The city is hosting mobile vaccine sites at seven different neighborhood centers across Orlando to try to get as many parents and eligible students vaccinated before heading back to classrooms next month.

Officials said people ages 18 and up will be able to choose between the Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and those ages 12-17 can receive the Pfizer vaccine with guardian consent. No preregistration is required.
“We’ve made great strides as a community in stopping the spread of the pandemic, thanks to our residents who have been vaccinated,” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “And it’s critical we continue to make the vaccine available to as many of our residents as possible, especially families now that teenagers are eligible to receive it.”
