In terms of vaccine availability, if you’re hunting for a shot, the closest location may not be near one of the areas with a higher amount of confirmed cases. Instead, vaccination sites are more likely to be where the infrastructure is more easily set up.

For Hillsborough County residents, that means more locations are in pharmacies run by what the Dept. of Health calls private providers, such as Publix, CVS, or Walmart, as well as the state and federally supported locations.
