The conference center site now offers 4,000 shots a day, up from 3,000, from Monday to Saturday.

Appointments can be made by registering at patientportalfl.com.

Monday was the first day that the age capability dropped to give all adults and some teens access to the lap. Across Central Florida, vaccination sites saw long queues and large crowds.

The FEMA website on the West Campus in Valencia College ran out of the first shots on Monday around 1pm, six hours ahead of schedule. The location and the other FEMA sites across the state only provide Johnson & Johnson on Tuesday morning for the first dose.

FEMA officials said the plan is to deliver 5,000 Johnson & Johnson shots on Tuesday. At 14:40 there were still many doses left.
