"The state continues to schedule appointments for vaccines at the Volusia County Fairgrounds through myvaccine.fl.gov. The website now offers a streamlined scheduling platform for eligible, preregistered users. Rather than receiving a call to schedule an appointment, preregistered individuals should log in to the site to schedule their own appointment from available dates and times. Individuals may also opt-in to receive email and text appointment confirmations, reminders, and messages, as well as self-report if they’ve been vaccinated and no longer need an appointment."
