PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made senior citizens his top priority as the first COVID-19 vaccinations began being administered.
Frontline healthcare workers are also being prioritized by DeSantis.
Despite this, tens of thousands of seniors are still waiting for their shots, along with millions of younger Floridians.
It will be months before many of them are able to receive the vaccine.
The rollout of the coronavirus vaccine has been rocky as less than a quarter of the more than 1,000,000 doses send to Florida have been administered.
That raises questions as to what the holdup is, and why has the vaccine rollout been so chaotic and disorganized.
The state agency in charge of all this is the Division of Emergency Services. Its Director is Jared Moskowitz, a former Democratic State Rep. from Coral Springs.
He joined This Week in South Florida host Michael Putney to discuss, and their conversation can be seen at the top of this page.
