MIAMI – Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida is expected to receive 325,000 new doses of vaccines this week, up from last week’s 307,000.
It’s a 22% increase in the number of vaccines the state was seeing at the beginning of the year with allotments of around 266,000 each week.
DeSantis believes it’s going to help the demand of seniors still struggling to book a vaccine appointment. “We are also are continuing to make more progress in terms of vaccine availability,” DeSantis said at a news conference in Miami Monday. “What is happening is as more and more seniors get the shot it softens the demand a little bit.” [TRENDING: Speedway worker dies following altercation | Teacher accused of sex with student | Tom Brady wins Super Bowl No.
