This article is written for the Florida Department of Health in Monroe County, the Monroe County that includes the Florida Keys.
If you need Monroe County, New York; Monroe County, Michigan; Monroe County, Kentucky; Monroe County, Illinois; or another state, do not use the Florida phone numbers on this page. Search for the official county health department website in that state and confirm the address, phone and services.
Monroe County Health Department locations in Key West, Marathon and Tavernier
DOH-Monroe serves residents and visitors across the Florida Keys. The official About page says DOH-Monroe maintains main sites in Tavernier, Marathon and Key West, with clinics, community health services offices and an administrative center.
Because DOH-Monroe has posted temporary relocation and limited-service notices for some locations, users should not rely on old map listings alone. Use the official Locations page and call before visiting. Some services may be appointment-only, temporarily relocated, limited to specific days, or handled through another clinic.
Florida Department of Health in Monroe County services by user need
DOH-Monroe offers public health services across clinical and nutrition services, wellness programs, environmental public health, vital records, immunizations, family planning, WIC, Healthy Start, travel vaccines, rabies prevention, beach water quality, and community health support.
Not every service is available at every location. Some services may require appointments, prior records, photo identification, insurance details, payment, income eligibility, proof of pregnancy, travel details, or environmental health documentation.

For assistance with birth and death records, the phone number is 305-676-3840. Official documents list the Office of Vital Statistics at 1100 Simonton Street, Key West, FL 33040.
Florida birth certificates are issued through the Bureau of Vital Statistics at the Department of Health. Orders may be placed online through VitalChek, by mail, or in person. Birth certificates before 1930, birth records under seal, and out-of-state birth records may require a different official process.
Florida death certificates are available for deaths occurring in Florida from 2009 to present through local channels. Deaths before 2009 may need to be requested from the Florida Department of Health Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville or through VitalChek. A legible copy of valid identification may be required with requests.
What to prepare before ordering records
Prepare the full name on the record, date of birth or death, place of event, parent names if needed, requester information, valid ID, mailing address, payment method, relationship or eligibility proof, and whether you need a certified copy. Fees are generally nonrefundable, so check the official form carefully before submitting.
Monroe County immunizations, school vaccine records and travel vaccines

For immunization appointments, call 305-293-7500 or use central scheduling at 305-676-3850. Bring a picture ID and all previous immunization records for each individual needing services. Prior records must be available before or at the visit time.
For international travel, DOH-Monroe offers travel vaccines for individuals with plans to travel abroad. The type of vaccine depends on the region of the world the traveler will visit, so plan ahead and schedule as soon as travel plans are made.
Monroe County WIC, nutrition help and Healthy Start services
DOH-Monroe provides WIC and Healthy Start support through its clinical and nutrition services. Healthy Start is a free home visiting program that provides education and care coordination to pregnant women and families of children under age three. The program promotes education, referrals and home visits.
DOH-Monroe public notices have listed 305-676-3933 for WIC appointment information, but users should verify current WIC scheduling through the official WIC page, locations page or main DOH-Monroe phone before visiting. The Roth Building in Tavernier has also posted limited WIC and Healthy Start appointment-only notices, so always check current instructions.
Monroe County family planning, preventive care and clinic services
The Florida Department of Health in Monroe County offers family planning and related preventive health services to both males and females. The family planning page explains that services are provided voluntarily and confidentially, with education, counseling and medical services.
Family planning services have been described by DOH-Monroe as available at Florida Keys clinic locations, with counseling, birth control options, STD testing and treatment when needed, and referrals when specialist care is required. Because clinic locations and temporary service notices can change, users should call scheduling before visiting.
Monroe County environmental health, food hygiene, pools, private water and permits
Environmental Public Health is especially important in Monroe County because the Florida Keys depend heavily on water quality, coastal conditions, tourism, pools, food service, mobile home and recreational parks, private water systems, and environmental safety.
DOH-Monroe environmental health topics include biomedical waste, body piercing facilities, coastal beach monitoring, food hygiene, mobile home and recreational parks, onsite sewage treatment and disposal, private water systems, public swimming pools and bathing places, rabies prevention, tattooing, well construction and related public health concerns.
Monroe County beach water quality, rabies, red tide and harmful algae guidance
Beach water quality and harmful algae bloom information matter in Monroe County because residents and visitors spend time near beaches, parks, reefs and coastal waters. DOH-Monroe Environmental Public Health links to Florida water quality information for blue-green algae and red tide through statewide resources.
For harmful algae bloom or aquatic toxin exposure symptoms, Florida public health guidance points users to the Florida Poison Information Center at 800-222-1222. For animal illness after possible red tide exposure, contact a veterinarian. For beach advisory notices, use the current official DOH-Monroe and Florida water quality pages before swimming or visiting affected areas.
What Monroe County Health Department may not be the right office for
DOH-Monroe handles many county public health services, but it is not the right office for every health, benefits, hospital, court or emergency issue. Using the wrong office can waste time, especially when a service belongs to a hospital, private doctor, insurer, Florida DCF, Monroe County government, tax collector, court, emergency management or another state Monroe County agency.
Monroe County Health Department free services vs paid records, clinics and permits
Many DOH-Monroe web pages, health alerts, public health notices, environmental health guidance and educational resources are free to view online. Some services may involve official fees, including birth certificates, death certificates, clinic services, travel vaccines, environmental health services, permits, inspections, records, copies or special processing.
Do not assume a service is free just because it is public health. Also do not assume a private search-result page is official. Use Monroe.FloridaHealth.gov, FloridaHealth.gov, and official county/state resources first. Pay only through official instructions.
What to prepare before visiting DOH-Monroe
Documents vary by service, but preparing before you go can prevent a wasted trip. Use this checklist as a starting point and then verify the exact requirement with the clinic, Vital Statistics office or Environmental Public Health program.
