“It’s our privilege to work with Governor DeSantis as a distributor of this important vaccine,” Publix Vice President of Pharmacy Dain Rusk said in the release. “We look forward to a time when everyone who wants a vaccination is able to receive one.”
Florida Department of Health in Marion County officials said that DeSantis did not inform the agency that he would be in town. The governor held a news conference at the Canopy Oaks Publix on State Road 200 at about 3 p.m. Tuesday.
News Channel 8 from Tampa Bay posted a Facebook live of the 15-minute press conference on Tuesday.
