Are you in the know? Here is the latest newsletter from Miami Beach!

 

New Location for COVID-19 Testing and Vaccinations

The COVID-19 testing and vaccination site operated by Nomi Health at 17 Street and Convention Center Drive will be relocated to the first floor of the Pennsylvania Garage (G9) on 17 Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, effective Monday, Oct. 11 through at least the end of the calendar year. The site operates seven days a week from 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. No appointment is necessary.
 
This is a walk-up site, offering Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. For testing, the nasal swab PCR turnaround time will be less than 24 hours from when the sample is taken. 
 
Nomi Health will collect health insurance information, but patients will not be charged directly or asked for a copay. If someone does not have health insurance information, they will be required to complete an attestation, which allows Nomi Health to submit a reimbursement request to federal funding sources.
