Florida could receive up to 2 million doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine within days and will offer inoculations to high-contact health care workers in five urban hospitals next week and to at least 145,000 residents of 4,000 nursing homes and long-term care centers by month’s end, Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed.
“We could have every resident of nursing homes and long-term care facilities vaccinated in December,” DeSantis said during a White House panel discussion. “That’s within our grasp right now.”
