Orlando Health offers Pfizer vaccines to community

Drive-through clinic open for anyone 12 years of age and older

Orlando, FL (June 14, 2021) – Orlando Health is now offering first-doses of the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19 to anyone over the age of 12 at an easy-to-access drive-through clinic. Located at 44 Lake Beauty Drive on its downtown Orlando campus, patients will be able to remain in their cars during the vaccination process.

“We have seen evidence of the efficacy of the vaccines, which are helping to significantly decrease the incidence of COVID-19 in our community and across the nation,” said George Ralls, MD, chief medical officer, Orlando Health. “Anyone who meets the age criteria and hasn’t yet been vaccinated, we urge them to come to this easy-in-easy-out clinic to get vaccinated and help further diminish this virus.”

In order to better manage the volume of patients, appointments are required. Members of the community who are not Orlando Health team members should visit https://vaccine.orlandohealth.com, select the first button on the page, then follow the prompts.

  • Enter information on the login and demographics pages.
  • Select "COVID-19 Vaccine" and complete consent.
  • From the "Your Information" page, select "Start Scheduling."
  • Enter access code OHMGPF1 and click the validate code button. Select Orlando Health Drive-Thru Pfizer.
  • Schedule dose one and dose two appointment times.

As of June 14, 350 appointments were available. Appointments will be filled on a first-to-schedule basis. An appointments unavailable banner will display when all vaccination spots are full at that time. A parent or legal guardian must accompany anyone younger than 18 to their appointment. Check back often as additional first-dose dates throughout the month of June will be added.

In case of inclement weather, the clinic may need to temporarily suspend operations until conditions are safe. Patients will be asked to wait in their cars until conditions improve. If they are unable to wait, they will need to reschedule their appointment, subject to availability.
