The convention center location now offers 4,000 recordings per day, up from 3,000 Monday through Saturday.

Appointments can be made by registering at patientportalfl.com.

Monday was the first day the age group dropped to allow all adults and some teens access to the admission. Throughout Central Florida, vaccination sites saw long lines and large crowds.

The FEMA site on Valencia College’s West Campus ran out of first shots around 1 p.m. on Monday, six hours ahead of schedule. That location and the other FEMA locations in the state will only deliver Johnson & Johnson for the first dose starting Tuesday morning.

FEMA officials said the plan is to take 5,000 Johnson & Johnson shots on Tuesday. From 2.40 p.m. there were still enough doses left.
