Gov. Ron DeSantis diverts COVID-19 vaccine from Manatee and other counties to FEMA sites
11,000 doses will instead go to FEMA sites, which will remain open through May
The state of Florida has diverted 11,000 doses of the COVID vaccine slated for Manatee County to federal vaccination sites.
The move comes just days before the county is due to ramp up vaccinations to include any adult who wants it.
Along with Manatee, the state stopped this week’s shipment of COVID-19 vaccine shots to nearly four dozen county and local sites, Department of Health records show – the same week Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he would extend the life of four federal vaccination sites.
