ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The health departments in Pinellas and Pasco counties are reminding people that COVID-19 vaccine registration is free.
The announcement comes after each county said that someone created a fake Eventbrite account for people to register.
"You should NOT be charged to register," a tweet from each county's health department read on Monday.
In Pinellas County, the only way to register as of now is by visiting its website or by calling 727-824-6900. In Pasco County, you can go to its website and click "Vaccine Distribution."
"Yes, we are aware of a fake EventBrite event for Pinellas as well. It was forwarded to the regional emergency management network, and will be forwarded to law enforcement," an official said. "Not sure of the agency that will lead."
