Florida hospitals slow to administer coronavirus vaccines into arms will see a portion of their share redistributed, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday. "Hospitals that do not do a good job of getting the vaccine out will have their allocations transferred to hospitals that are doing a good job in getting the vaccine out," DeSantis said during a briefing. "We do not want vaccine to just be idle at some hospital system." Hospitals exceeding targets will see an increase in their allotment, the governor said.
The herculean task of prompt vaccination among burdened health systems, already caring for over 7,000 hospitalized coronavirus patients, has been criticized for being too slow.
