Florida prepares to distribute 1st vaccine doses UP NEXT
ESTERO, Fla. – Senior citizens spent a chilly night outside in a line that stretched for blocks as they waited to get into a park and rec center where COVID-19 vaccinations were offered on a first-come, first-served basis Monday.
At the front of the line were Marc and Mary Ravis of nearby Cape Coral. They arrived around 7 p.m. Sunday, two hours after the immunization clinic was announced by the Lee County Health Department.

At the front of the line were Marc and Mary Ravis of nearby Cape Coral. They arrived around 7 p.m. Sunday, two hours after the immunization clinic was announced by the Lee County Health Department. I really need this vaccine, Mary Ravis said. She and her husband, 69 and 72 years old, respectively, have underlying health conditions. We figured it would fill up fast.
