Vaccine hesitancy persists despite rampant virus spread
Local health officials are sounding the alarm in an effort to raise vaccination rates, this as cases continue to climb. However they face stiff opposition.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida reported 16,038 new COVID-19 cases to the federal government on Tuesday, the highest number of new cases since Jan. 15, federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show.
The Tuesday total was the seventh consecutive day in which Florida reported more than 12,000 new cases and came as the CDC issued guidelines advising fully vaccinated people to wear masks while indoors in public places. The increased numbers and new CDC guidance have come as the delta variant of the coronavirus sweeps across the nation and as many people remain unvaccinated.
