ORLANDO, Fla. – Millions more Floridians could soon be eligible for a coronavirus vaccine as Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to lower the age limit soon.
During a news conference in Palm Harbor Wednesday, DeSantis said Florida will allow people 55 and older to qualify for the coronavirus vaccine in the coming weeks.
“I’m not going to announce it yet, but we definitely will lower to 55 sometime in March,” he said. “I think we can get that done even at the current stagnant supply.”
