The company still recommends scheduling a vaccination appointment “to ensure the preferred vaccine is available.”

Vaccination appointments can still be made at publix.com/covidvaccine. Publix offers the Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines, so vaccinations at those pharmacies are only available to people age 18 and older.

All 730 Publix pharmacy locations in Florida offer the vaccine.

Walmart, Sam’s Club and Winn Dixie also recently started accepting walk-ins for COVID-19 vaccinations.
