Despite a year of curfews, stay-at-home orders and a rise in COVID-19 cases as winter residents returned to Palm Beach, the 2020-21 season saw a light at the end of a very long tunnel.
When Gov. Ron DeSantis announced in January that seniors 65 and over would be the first group inoculated with the new COVID-19 vaccine, town officials were ready. An infrastructure and distribution system was put in place in September that allowed the town to secure an initial 1,000 vaccines for its residents.
On Jan. 5, the first doses of the Moderna vaccine were administered to eligible residents.
