They are at:

Allen Park Community Center, 1770 NE 162nd St. in North Miami Beach
Miami Springs Community Center, 1401 Westward Drive in Miami Springs
Both are planned to be open March 11-17, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. They will be able to administer 500 vaccines per day and are first-come, first-served — with no appointments.
They are also walk-up sites, in terms of welcoming people who don’t have cars. You can be dropped off or literally walk in.
The new locations replace the two pop-up satellite sites that had been running for the past week at the Florida City Youth Activity Center and at Ronselli Park in Sweetwater. Those were closed after Wednesday.
If you got your first vaccine at one of the satellite sites that closed, when it comes time for your second dose, you can get that at one of the satellite sites that are running at the time, or at the main hub at Miami Dade College’s North Campus. (Reminder, if you got a Johnson & Johnson vaccine, only one dose is needed.)
The satellite sites are intended to move around to allow different parts of the community to have access to vaccines.
The Miami Dade College North Campus site (11380 NW 27th Ave.) will remain open as the main FEMA-supported hub in South Florida.
The FEMA sites are among the locations that are vaccinating Floridians under 65 who are extremely vulnerable to COVID-19. All PreK-12 school employees over 18 are also eligible there, as are law enforcement and firefighters over 50 and any resident over 65.
