The City of Marco Island confirmed Wednesday both the city’s police chief and fire chief will be suspended after failing to report a known compromise to the city’s coronavirus vaccine reservation system prior to when it was meant to go live for the public Jan. 20.
According to City Manager Mike McNees’ investigation releases, a compromise to the Collier County Eventbrite system for COVID-19 vaccine registration was made when the husband of Police Chief Tracy Frazzano, William Frazzano, accessed the system before the registration system was meant to go live.

British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the study supports a strategy of delaying the second shot so more first doses can be delivered to more people. Researchers also found a 67% reduction in positive swabs among those vaccinated – crucial news because if no virus is present, the virus can t spread.
McNees also concluded that Byrne failed to report the breach and allowed William Frazzano to take the vaccine during the city s first vaccination clinic on Jan. 22 despite Collier County EMS alerting him of the breach approximately 10 minutes before the Eventbrite link was published.
