ORLANDO, Fla. – Most of Florida’s adult population will be eligible for the coronavirus vaccine beginning Monday.
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced earlier this week that beginning Monday anyone 40 or older can get the shots. The next expansion happens on April 5 and will include anyone over 16 years old.
Vaccinating seniors has been a priority for DeSantis since December and makes up a majority of the arms where Florida’s vaccine supply is going.
By Sunday more than 2.2 million people over 65 have completed their virus vaccine in Florida out of more than 3 million of all ages.
