The amount of COVID-19 vaccine coming into Palm Beach County is growing.
During Tuesday s County Commission meeting, Dr. Alina Alonso said this week s total is 9,000 doses. We persisted and perhaps continuing to say We need vaccine! We need vaccine! and we did get some of that allotment sent to us so we re very happy about that.
The county s health director says the county was getting around 5,000 doses per week, but Florida is getting an additional 40,000 doses from the federal government.

Crews are preparing the South Florida Fairgrounds for a mass COVID-19 vaccination site, but nobody s sure when it will open, even though the goal is next Monday.
Palm Beach County says they will be able to vaccinate 7,000 people per day at the site, but they need to start getting enough doses first.
Workers were seen on Monday, lining cones up in the north end parking lot near a newly erected white tent.
The mini South Florida Fair wrapped up there on Sunday and officials with the fairgrounds said they were contacted by the county to see if they had availability of land to host a vaccine center.
