Eustis – The Florida Department of Health in Lake County (DOH-Lake), in partnership with Lake County Emergency Management, the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the Florida Department of Health, will begin offering free COVID-19 immunizations at the Lake Square Mall by appointment only to frontline health care workers and those 65 and older.

COVID-19 vaccine appointments may be scheduled by calling 866-201-6909 (or 833-476-1031 for TTY users). Appointments are based on vaccine availability.

We want to remind the public that our immunization plan is long-term. Persons who are unable to receive a vaccine during this first phase will have an opportunity as we continue and expand our efforts.

Proof of appointment and eligibility are required.

The Florida Department of Health in Lake County is following the State Surgeon General’s Public Health Advisory, which requires every vaccine provider in Florida to ensure every recipient is either a resident of Florida or is a frontline healthcare worker providing services in Florida.
