Costco has COVID vaccines — but only one South Florida store has appointments available

Costco announced Monday that it has “a limited number” of COVID-19 vaccines and, in South Florida, that’s apparently very limited.

Some pharmacies had the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which the FDA & CDC recommended sites stop using for the moment. But even the Costco locations with the Moderna vaccine came up, “The resource you selected is not available” on the appointment site.

One exception — 14800 Sole Mia Way in North Miami, near the Biscayne Bay campus of Florida International University.

As for how Tuesday morning’s announcement by the federal agencies affects those Costco pharmacies with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, it’s a good question. Costco’s link for media inquiries sends the user to a page that says “The form “Media Inquiry Form” is no longer accepting responses.”
