FOX 35 investigates wasted COVID-19 vaccines
The coronavirus vaccine is already in short supply, so when reports surfaced that some doses were lost or wasted in Florida, we wanted to take a closer look.
ORLANDO, Fla. - More than 3,500 COVID-19 vaccine doses have gone to waste in Florida, according to officials.
The state said that includes vials that were broken and vials that were thawed but could not be used in the timeframe before they expired. The Pfizer vaccine is only good for six hours, while Moderna is good for eight hours.
