The Broward School District plans to vaccinate teachers of all ages starting Tuesday, while Palm Beach and Miami-Dade are offering COVID-19 vaccines to teachers 50 and over.
Broward Mayor Steve Geller wants people 55 and older, teachers and more first responders to have access to Florida’s next vaccine rollout. Hoping to expand the vaccine priority list, he wrote to Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday. Geller asked DeSantis to include language that would expand the vaccine priority list the next time the governor issues an executive order related to the COVID-19 vaccine. .
Some state leaders have said that while they don’t have an issue with seasonal residents getting vaccinated here, they are concerned about tourists doing the same while visiting Florida.
“It becomes a logistical nightmare because if you budget a certain number of vaccines for a certain size population, and that population is artificially inflated by people who are not members of the population. Then, you are going to have a lot of problems with distribution,” said Dr. Aileen Marty, an epidemiologist at Florida International University.
Dr. Marty said that Miami-Dade doctors and leaders met this week to find ways to prevent the practice, like adding questions about residency on the application.
