Orlando FEMA vaccine site to reopen Monday after severe weather
The Orlando FEMA vaccine site is still reportedly expected to get 3,000 doses of Johnson & Johnson every day until the end of May.
ORLANDO, Fla. - The federal vaccination site in Orlando has reopened on Monday morning after severe weather on Sunday forced it to shut down.
The vaccination site, located at Valencia College s West Campus, expects to have 3,000 Johnson & Johnson vaccines ready to give out.
Much of the rest of the country hit a snag with the single-dose vaccine. Supply is expected to fall by more than 85 percent after the company threw away 15 million doses last month due to contamination at a Baltimore plant.
