Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said based on demand at the Orange County convention Center, lowering the age requirement for the vaccine is the right thing to do.
Appointments for anyone 40 and older opens online beginning at 9 a.m. But the decision by Demings is a bit different than the order signed late last week by Gov.
Ron DeSantis. Demings said the site has not been reaching its 3,000 shot-a-day capacity. “We are reasonably confident that we can open it up,” he said.
This new age group is now joining all educators, police and fire employees and a few others now able to get the vaccine at the site.
