Flagler County residents who are 65 years old and over who haven’t heard back from the state to schedule an appointment for their COVID-19 vaccinations are encouraged to re-register through the “Sharecare” vaccination appointment system, as age requirements may change soon.

“There is some likelihood that Governor Ron DeSantis may be changing eligibility requirements for COVID-19 vaccinations within the next month,” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. “Certainly we recommend that all residents 65 and older sign up if they haven’t already done so. For those of you who previously registered but have not yet received a call back from the state, we recommend you register again to ensure the state has your best contact information.”

For those who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, whether previously registered or not, please visit www.FlaglerCounty.org/covid for details or call the state appointment hotline at 866-201-1541. Registrants will be contacted in the order that they signed up.

“Online registration is the most efficient process,” Lord said. “However, if you do not have internet access please call the state’s appointment hotline.”

When the state reaches out to schedule an appointment – whether by phone or email – residents must answer the phone or quickly respond to the written notification to secure an appointment. The state will make a few additional attempts to contact those who do not immediately respond when subsequent vaccine appointments become available.

For Flagler County residents who are 65 years old or older, and who are also homebound or require transportation assistance to the Flagler County Fairgrounds, please contact the Emergency Operations Center at 386-313-4200, or by email at [email protected] to discuss available options.
