“We are not going to put young healthy workers ahead of our elderly,” said DeSantis, whose state has seen more than 21,000 deaths from the virus.
Similar scenes of waiting, confusion and frustration played out across the state Monday, as medical systems and counties scrambled to create distribution systems for groups they hadn't expected to vaccinate for at least a week or two. "If you're opening it up to everyone in Florida 65 and older, then you'd better have a plan," saidWilliam Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee.
We got my 82 year old mother a COVID vaccine appointment! Orange County Florida website took hours of refreshing to get it but we finally got through! She goes Wednesday and follow up shot in January. 👏👏👏That complexity resulted in busy signals and hours of redialing in Miami, where people tried to get through to make vaccination appointments at hospitals in the face of sometimes contradictory information.
Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami began offering vaccine to seniors last week, though getting through to the appointment desk proved difficult for many. Monday, multiple attempts by USA TODAY resulted in busy signals. When the line was answered, staff said vaccine was available only to medical center patients.
Is there a governor in any state worse than DeSantis? This man has the thought processing, logic and decision-making capabilities of a two-year old. And, he cannot see the light because his nose is too far up Trump's ass.
Warp speed or just warped? Great plan for Floridians RD!
Are you telling me that SMOKERS get vaccinated before Type 1 diabetics? 👁👄👁
The desperation is just sad.
Good. You can have it sheeple. Enjoy your long term side effects.
What happened to the dire need to talk everyone into a vaccine? Turns out they skipped the vaccine shortages for months story which should have been center stage all along. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Who does GovRonDeSantis think will treat the sick patients. If healthcare workers cannot get vaccinated first, what happens to your staffing when the regulars are sick and have to stay out of work for 10 days? smh makes no sense
Confusion? What do you expect from a delusional and confused 'leader?' Keep voting these idiots in folks. That's like giving the keys to a 10th grade train conductor -- train wreck. Are you getting the message yet?
Like the handling of the pandemic did America think that the POTUS and SenateGOP HouseGOP were telling you the truth!!!!!
😷😎💉
Operation Warp Speed Wtf was that? Clearly it wasn't a plan of action, which is incredibly symbolic of the entirety of Trump's presidency. Nothing but chaos, confusion, and death. Evidently, the only real plan he had all along.
I can’t fathom this percolating shit show doesn’t end in a lottery...like the draft, or maybe even the short story...
You can have my dose 🖕
