Press Release 21-12 (02-05-21)

The City of Marco Island announces new process for residents to register for COVID-19 vaccination appointments.

The City of Marco Island has updated the process for its residents to register for a COVID-19 vaccination appointment. The new registration page will remain open for full-time and seasonal residents aged 65 and older, and appointments will be assigned based on zip code and age with the oldest being first.

How City of Marco Island residents can register for a COVID-19 vaccine:

1. Full time and seasonal residents of Marco Island who are 65 and older can register at any time at http://vaccine.cityofmarcoisland.com. This link will also be shared on the City website and City social media. The link will remain open as this is not a first-come, first-served system.

2. Once the online form is completed, residents will receive an email confirming that they are registered for a COVID-19 vaccine on Marco Island and on the waiting list. This is not a guarantee of a vaccination appointment.

3. Registrants will then be prioritized for vaccination appointments when allocations are received based on Marco Island zip code and age, and will receive an email with the appointment time, date, and location.

4. Those who do not receive an appointment slot each week will remain on the registration list for future vaccine events with no further action required. The number of vaccine appointments will vary from week to week based on the allocation the City receives from Collier County EMS. The City anticipates several thousand residents registering in this system, and the City will typically be allocated only a few hundred vaccines each week. Therefore, we encourage residents to continue to seek other vaccine appointment opportunities in addition to the Marco Island registration.
