Beware: Someone has set up fake accounts to charge for vaccine registration.
The health officials of Pasco and Pinellas Counties say there’s a fake Eventbrite account set up to charge money for registering for Covid-19 vaccinations. Registration is, in fact, free, so please, do not be fooled.

Both Pasco and Pinellas Counties have their own websites set up to register for the free vaccines.
In fact, each county in the state of Florida has free vaccine registration. Hillsborough County joined other counties by beginning registration on Monday, January 4 for residents 65-years-old and up.
Many counties have reported having issues with the high volume of traffic from residents trying to log in to register for their appointment.[Source: News Channel 8]
