DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Delray Beach Fire Rescue will be administrating a limited number of COVID-19 vaccines for people 65 and older.
The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County provided 200 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to Delray Beach Fire Rescue, which the department said will likely be the first in a series to administer to the general public.
Online registration began at 10 a.m. Thursday. Eight minutes later, Delray Beach announced on Twitter that all appointments had been filled.
UPDATE: All of DBFR’s appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday in Delray Beach have been filled. We hope to have the opportunity again to help administer the vaccine to our community. Stay healthy, Delray Beach.
