Floridians who are 16 and older will be eligible to get Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine beginning on April 5. That is the same day Gov.
Ron DeSantis ordered that all vaccines be made available to everyone aged 18 or older. According to the Florida Department of Health, the Pfizer vaccine is the exception because it is the only vaccine currently authorized for individuals under the age of 18. “The state is continuing to follow all FDA issued Emergency Use Authorizations guidance when administering the COVID-19 vaccine.
In accordance with this guidance, individuals 16 and older will be eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine. These individuals will also be eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine on April 5″ the department said in a statement. [TRENDI
