FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — With demand low and federal funds running out, dozens of COVID testing, vaccination and treatments sites will be closing in South Florida within the next 10 days.
Residents may want to consider some immediate actions with only a few days left to get a COVID shot for free. After April 5, the uninsured will have to pay for COVID-19 vaccines out of their own pocket.
“You have a few more days to get vaccinated or boosted at no charge so take advantage of that,” said Mary Jo Trepka, an infectious disease epidemiologist and professor at Florida International University.
