TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â As the holidays come to an end, Tallahassee hospitals are seeing surges in COVID-19 positive patients.
Florida had a phased, orderly, step-by-step plan in place for distributing the COVID-19 vaccine to the public, starting with the most vulnerable months before a vaccine was even approved for emergency use.
Following guidance laid out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the state would focus on long-term care residents, hospital workers at the front lines of the coronavirus battle, workers essential to the running of society, and people with medical conditions that put them at higher risk of getting the disease.
The plan outlined procedures for distribution, inventory management, storage and handling, second-dose reminders, provider recruitment and enrolling, and communication with the public.
