Annual User Confirmation
In an effort to continue to maintain a secured site, organizations will have an annual User Confirmation period to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to Florida SHOTS.

The LOA’s will see an alert when they log in to Florida SHOTS seven days prior to confirmation period beginning and receive an email notification the day before. You can find step-by-step instructions on completing the user confirmation HERE. Also available in Spanish.
