Several Treasure Coast hospitals set to receive new vaccine
Several Treasure Coast hospitals set to receive new vaccine By Derek Lowe | December 17, 2020 at 10:40 PM EST - Updated December 18 at 10:27 AM
The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved the coronavirus vaccine, manufactured by Moderna, for authorized emergency use.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a tweet that 173 hospitals across 43 counties would receive the vaccine.
On the Treasure Coast, that includes St. Lucie Medical Center, Lawnwood Regional Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic Martin North, Cleveland Clinic Martin South, Cleveland Clinic Tradition and Cleveland Clinic Indian River. I will absolutely get the vaccine, said Dr. Andy Digart, an emergency room physician at St. Lucie Medical Center. I think this is an extremely well-studied science that has happened so rapidly. However, it s all there. It all adds up.
The Florida health care systems said in a joint statement:
As hospitals serving communities across Florida, we know all of us need to do our part and keep wearing masks. But, here s what we also know: The science has not changed. Masks slow the spread of COVID-19. So, please join us as we all embrace this simple ask: Wear. Care. Share with #MaskUp. Together, wearing is caring. And together, we are saving lives.
Local mask mandates
St. Lucie and Indian River counties each passed mask mandates over the summer that remain in effect. Martin County, which now has the most coronavirus cases per 100,000 residents on the Treasure Coast, nixed its mandate in October.
