MIAMI BEACH: A long line of people snaked across the sand of Miami Beach, Florida, as dozens of travellers from Latin America waited their turn at a pop-up COVID-19 vaccination booth.
The 40-year-old accountant flew in with her parents, aged 63 and 73. The three of them stood in line, wearing masks."We had to make the decision to look for a solution outside the country," Bonilla said. Miami Beach city commissioner David Richardson, a Democrat, who oversaw the facility, told AFP he has mixed feelings about the vaccine tourists.Advertisement
On Sunday, the pop-up vaccination booth inoculated 175 people with the Johnson & Johnson shot, the brand favoured by tourists because it requires only one dose. In theory, Florida vaccinates state residents or people who indicate - verbally - that they offer a service in-state. As of 10 days ago, it is no longer necessary to provide documented proof of residence.
