New ID program expands vaccine access for immigrants and other vulnerable Broward residents Lautaro Grinspan, The Miami Herald Apr. 24—Throughout Florida's COVID-19 vaccination rollout, some residents who lack state-issued photo IDs have struggled to get the shot, a result of the proof of residency requirements imposed by the state to clamp down on "vaccine tourism." But in Broward County, that obstacle could soon be reduced, as a new program aims to create local IDs for county residents who currently don't have one — including undocumented immigrants. Supporters of this community ID measure — which the Broward County Commission approved earlier this week — say it will not only expand vulnerable residents' access to the vaccine, but also make it easier to sign up for other county and health services.
