Publix also announcing on Monday that it is following the direction of the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program in allowing teachers and other K-12 school staff of any age to get vaccinated. After those in the prioritized group are finished making appointments, any remaining appointments will be available to other eligible groups.

Those groups include firefighters and sworn members of law enforcement ages 50 and older, individuals who are 65 and older and adults under the age of 65 who are determined to be extremely vulnerable to COVID-19 by a physician. Also eligible for the vaccine are health care professionals with direct patient contact and residents or staff members of long-term care facilities.
