TAMPA (WFLA) – Publix Pharmacy will not have COVID-19 vaccine appointments during Easter weekend, so it is canceling its Wednesday scheduling opportunity in Florida.

The online reservation system will reopen Friday, April 2, for appointments for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

Appointments to receive second doses are not impacted by this change.

The online registration typically opens at 7 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Eligible individuals can access the online reservation system to make appointments as follows:

  • Scheduling opportunity Monday for Wednesday – Friday appointments. Moderna vaccine.
  • Scheduling opportunity Wednesday (except March 31) for Saturday – Sunday appointments. Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
  • Scheduling opportunity Friday for Monday (except April 5) – Tuesday appointments. Moderna vaccine.

Publix vaccination appointments are scheduled online only through their website. Appointments can not be made by calling Publix or Publix Pharmacy.
