JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis delivered an update on Monday regarding COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
He said the state is close to giving one million senior citizens their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
About 22% of senior citizens in Florida have been vaccinated so far, officials said.
Florida has partnered with CVS and Walgreens to set up vaccine clinics at the state’s long-term care facilities. DeSantis said most nursing home residents were offered their first dose, and those at assisted living facilities will have been offered their first shot by the end of the month.
DeSantis also discussed the state’s extremely limited vaccine supply, saying they had administered between 300,000 and 450,000 doses in the first three weeks of January, but will only receive 226,100 doses between Monday and Tuesday.
“You’re going to see that there’s been shortages,” he said.
