COVID: County gears up to vaccinate seniors in January
Seniors in the general public will start getting the COVID-19 vaccine in Palm Beach County in January, the county health director says.
The second vaccine made by Moderna is expected to ship out next week and the county is in line to get 18,000 doses, said Dr. Alina Alonso. Also next week, CVS and Walgreens will start visiting long-term care centers in the county to vaccinate senior residents.
The first vaccine, made by Pfizer, shipped last week and went to five teaching hospitals in major metropolitan areas in Florida and to a state strike team that will vaccinate residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Broward and Pinellas counties.
