How do I cancel a scheduled appointment?

What browsers does Publix recommend?
Publix recommends using the latest versions of Apple Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge when visiting Publix.com. If you are experiencing problems with these or other browsers, please contact our Customer Care team at 800-242-1227.
What type of COVID-19 vaccine does Publix administer?
Publix provides both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, subject to availability. For more information, please visit our COVID-19 vaccine home page.
Why should I get the vaccine?
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), getting the COVID-19 vaccine provides an additional layer of protection that will help keep you safe, in addition to following CDC-recommended social distancing practices.
Do I still need to practice social distancing and wear a mask if I receive the vaccine?
Generally, if you are up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccinations, you do not need to wear a mask in outdoor settings. Check your local COVID-19 community level for recommendations on when to wear a mask indoors and additional precautions you can take to protect yourself. If you are immunocompromised or more likely to get very sick from COVID-19, visit the CDC website to learn more about how to protect yourself.
I already had COVID-19 and recovered. Will the vaccine provide any benefit to me?
Yes. The CDC recommends you still receive the vaccine. For more information regarding your health, please talk to your primary care physician.
What are the most common side effects?
Some common side effects at the injection site include soreness, redness, or warmth to the touch. Some people report chills, fatigue, headache, or fever after getting the vaccine, especially the second dose. For more details about side effects of the vaccines approved for emergency use, visit the CDC's website.
How can I report any severe side effects or issues that I have?
Upon receiving the vaccine, you will be given information about where to report adverse effects, including the CDC’s new V-safe system. For details about the CDC's V-safe program, visit the CDC's website. You can also complete a Vaccine Adverse Event Report System (VAERS) report online. For details and to make a report, visit the VAERS website.
If you experience a severe allergic reaction, the FDA recommends you call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.
Can I get COVID-19 from the vaccine?
According to the CDC, no. Currently authorized vaccines do not contain the live COVID-19 virus. The vaccine carries genetic material that allows your immune system to create antibodies that will combat the COVID-19 virus.
