While the state determines who gets vaccines, counties are in charge of distribution
At a press conference at the end of December, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that while state officials would be in charge of determining which facilities and hospitals received shipments of the vaccine,
individual counties would be in charge of distribution.
That means that the process of administering the vaccine will depend on county guidelines: while some counties will offer the doses at
specific locations, others will
deploy teams
to facilities to give out the vaccine, like Palm Beach County has done with its senior communities.
DeSantis added that he expects most counties to get more of the recently approved Moderna vaccine in early January.
