ORLANDO, Fla. – The second day of Orlando’s FEMA mass vaccination site began with higher turnout after the location failed to reach its 2,000-dose capacity on Wednesday.
Hundreds lined up early Thursday at Valencia College’s West Campus where officials said 430 shots were administered in the first two hours of operation.
By noon, officials said more than 1,200 vaccines had been delivered Thursday. “We’ve got a significant increase versus what we had yesterday,” Lt.
Col. Troy Fisher said during a news briefing Thursday afternoon. “We are now operating exactly as we would have hoped to be operating the whole time.” Fisher said the site was averaging about 250 shots per hour.
