St. Johns County COVID-19 vaccination appointments do not require payment
St. Johns County encourages those registering for a COVID-19 vaccination appointment to remain cautious of scams that contain misleading information or links to websites requiring payment.
If you encounter a website requiring payment information to book an appointment, it is not the official St. Johns County COVID-19 vaccination registration page. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody released the following tips to help avoid COVID-19 vaccine-related scams:
■ Know that anyone asking for money in exchange for an appointment is a scam
■ Check with county health departments for local vaccine distribution guidelines
■ Be wary of any website where pop-up ads solicit a vaccine appointment
■ Look for “https” or a padlock icon in the website name to ensure that you are on a secure website.
■ Report suspicious solicitations or COVID-19 vaccine-related advertisements to the Attorney General’s Office by calling (866) 9NO-SCAM (966-7226) or going to MyFloridaLegal.com.
