JACKSONVILLE, Fla — A few Northeast Florida hospitals are among the 173 medical facilities in the state that are expected to receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida should receive around 367,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine starting Monday. On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave the vaccine the green light.
Moderna's approval adds to the fight against COVID-19 with the Pfizer vaccine, which is now being administered to millions of healthcare workers and nursing home patients.
