Residency proof not needed for vaccine at some sites in Florida, paving way for migrants Michelle Marchante and Devoun Cetoute, The Miami Herald Apr. 30—Florida has scrapped its rule requiring multiple proofs of residency to get a COVID-19 vaccine now that sites are seeing a lower demand. It's a win for immigrant civil rights groups that said the requirement was barring undocumented migrant workers from getting a shot at protection. The rule change expands vaccine access in the state to include anyone who is providing "goods and services" in Florida, which just means they're working in the state. Florida Immigration Coalition, an immigrant civil rights group, told the Miami Herald in an email Friday that it's glad to see the change and considers it "long overdue."
