The federally supported vaccination pop-ups in North Miami Beach and Miami Springs are moving again to Liberty City and Cutler Bay to administer second doses in the final stretch of their run.

The FEMA pop-up sites are at Allen Park Community Center at 1770 NE 162nd St. in North Miami Beach and at the Miami Springs Community Center at 1401 Westward Dr. through 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 7.

Then on Thursday, April 8, the “satellite” sites will open at Charles Hadley Park, 1350 NW 50th St. in Liberty City and at South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, 10950 SW 211th St. in Cutler Bay.

Both sites will administer second dose Pfizer shots only. Appointments are not needed. You can just show up and wait in line.

Here’s why ‘surprise’ J&J vaccine sites are popping up in Florida neighborhoods

The Liberty City pop-up will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, April 8 to April 13. The Cutler Bay site will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, April 8 to April 10 and from April 12-13.

Then the pop-ups will end their run. The sites were part of a federal and state partnership to expand vaccine access in underserved communities.

The FEMA “hub” at Miami Dade College North Campus will continue to offer the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine and second dose Pfizer shots until May 26. The site opens every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and appointments are not needed.

Here’s what else you need to know:

What to know about second doses at FEMA satellite sites

▪ Only second-dose Pfizer shots will be available at the two pop-ups.

▪ You will need to show your CDC vaccination card and a state-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, to get your second shot.

▪ You should not get your second dose before the date on your vaccination card, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

▪ People who get their first Pfizer shot at a FEMA site can switch among the three FEMA vaccine centers in Miami-Dade for their second dose.

  • Why This Strategist Says Starbucks Has The Most Upside In Restaurant Space

    On CNBC's "Power Lunch," Federated Hermes equity strategist Steve Chivarone and Miller Tabak equity strategist Matt Maley discussed their views on economic reopening. Chivarone said he expects consumers to shift spending from home goods to experiences including restaurants, casinos and hotels, adding it will be a "summer of reopening" in the U.S. Maley was asked what names he likes in the restaurant space. All of the restaurant stocks got absolutely crushed about this time last year, so the rally has been spectacular, he told CNBC. The problem is that basically all of them are getting quite overbought, but there is one exception and that's Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX), the Miller Tabak equity stategist said. "It's finally breaking out," he said of the coffee stock. "This is one that I think has more upside movement. Since some of these names are a little bit overbought, I want to own the one that has the most upside and that's Starbucks." SBUX Price Action: Starbucks is up more than 67% since this time last year. Starbucks shares were up 0.36% at $113.56 at last check Wednesday. Image by Engin Akyurt from Pixabay.

  • Texas Grid Problem Exacerbated Power Failures During Blackout

    (Bloomberg) -- The power-plant failures that plunged millions of Texans into darkness during a deep winter freeze in February weren’t just caused by frozen equipment and gas-supply issues.A problem with the power grid itself knocked about 1.26 gigawatts of generation offline at the peak of the crisis, potentially exacerbating the energy woes. About 2% of outages that week were caused by an unexpected dip in frequency -- or the flow of electricity on the grid -- according to a survey of power suppliers released Tuesday by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages most of the state’s power system.The finding is significant because the grid operator, known as Ercot, has continued to assert that the dip didn’t compound the outages by forcing plants offline. Maintaining frequency at around 60 hertz is critical to keeping the system stable, and is one of Ercot’s key responsibilities. The frequency fell as low as 59.3 hertz on Feb. 14, the first day of the blackouts, according to Bloomberg data. Ercot operating protocols say a deviation of 0.2 hertz “for a long period” could cause damage to generators and customer equipment.Power providers Vistra Corp., Calpine Corp. and NRG Energy Inc. have all said they lost generation due to the frequency plunge, with NRG President Mauricio Gutierrez telling Texas lawmakers in February that the dip “threatened the majority of the fleet.”Ercot didn’t immediately respond to a request seeking comment.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Benefits of AstraZeneca vaccine outweigh risks: Swedish Medical Products Agency

    The Swedish Medical Products Agency said on Wednesday the benefits of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine outweighed the risks after the EU drug regulator said it had found a possible link between the shot and rare blood clots. Sweden paused the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in March after reports of rare but serious blood clots among people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca shot. "We stand behind this conclusion, that the benefits outweigh the risks," Ulla Wandel Liminga at the Medical Products Agency told a news conference.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell ordered to clean her 'very dirty and smelly' prison cell

    Prosecutors have accused Ghislaine Maxwell of allowing her prison cell to become "dirty and smelly" by not cleaning it and regularly failing to flush her toilet. In a lengthy letter to a judge they rejected allegations from Ms Maxwell's lawyers that her conditions were "fitting for Hannibal Lecter". They also disputed suggestions the former socialite had lost 15 pounds, and some of her hair. A claim that she had been physically abused during a pat-down search had been investigated and was "unfounded", they added. Audrey Strauss, a New York prosecutor, wrote: "Staff directed the defendant to clean her cell because it had become very dirty. "Among other things, staff noted that the defendant frequently did not flush her toilet after using it, which caused the cell to smell. In addition, the defendant had not cleaned her cell in some time." Ms Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges and denies grooming girls for sex with Jeffrey Epstein.

  • EU regulator finds "possible" link between AstraZeneca vaccine and rare blood clots

    The European Medicines Agency (EMA) concluded Wednesday that "unusual blood clots with low blood platelets" should be listed as a "very rare" side effect of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, but that the benefits of the shot still outweigh the risks.Why it matters: The AstraZeneca vaccine is the centerpiece of the global COVAX initiative, and one of the very few vaccines that is available, affordable and easy to store for many developing countries.Stay on top of the latest market trends and economic insights with Axios Markets. Subscribe for freeThe concerns about AstraZeneca in Europe have already spread to countries in Africa, some of which have delayed their rollouts and warned of increased vaccine hesitancy.The vaccine has been administered to over 20 million people in Europe and has played a key role in Britain's world-leading vaccine rollout.U.K. health officials said at their own press briefing Wednesday that due to the rare cases of blood clots, Britons under the age of 30 will be offered alternative vaccines to AstraZeneca when possible.What they're saying: "EMA is reminding healthcare professionals and people receiving the vaccine to remain aware of the possibility of very rare cases of blood clots combined with low levels of blood platelets occurring within 2 weeks of vaccination," the agency said in a statement.Most of the cases reported so far have occurred in women under 60 years of age within two weeks of vaccination, according to the EMA. Specific risk factors are unconfirmed.The blood clots occurred in veins in the brain and the abdomen, the EMA reports, and people who develop symptoms of this combination of blood clots and low blood platelets should seek immediate medical assistance.The bottom line: The regulator still concluded that the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine outweigh the risks and that it is effective at preventing COVID-19 hospitalizations and death.This story is breaking news.
