Saying no to vaccine tourists

Wealthy ‘vaccine tourists’ are said to be heading to Florida to get vaccinated first. Reuters As millions of elderly Floridians scramble to register for a limited but growing supply of Covid-19 vaccines in the United States, state officials are clamping down on so-called vaccine tourism by limiting doses to only the state’s part- and full-time residents. Shirley Hicks, 70, a retired teacher from the state’s west coast, spent three weeks glued to her computer to find a dose for her husband Michael, 80, after Florida became one of the first states in the US allowing vaccines for those aged 65 or older.
