“We want to make sure our community has access to all the tools they need to protect themselves and their loved ones, and we encourage everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible if you haven’t yet to help us stop the spread,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said in a statement.

Tropical Park also has a Florida Department of Health site that is administering free monoclonal antibody treatment, which can prevent severe illness and hospitalization to people who are high-risk.
