VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Central Florida health departments are already getting plans together for when the state lowers the age for COVID-19 vaccinations.
A timeline has not been released yet, but health officials want families to be prepared. Right now, the Volusia County Health Department is working on how it will get students vaccinated.
In the meantime, it’s asking parents that if they do want their child to get a COVID-19 vaccination to start thinking ahead. “We’re always working on school-age immunizations around this time, but I think it’s even more important because we do know that age is going to drop soon for the [COVID-19] vaccinations,” Florida Department of Health spokesman Ethan Johnson said.
