Senior citizens in Florida are now able to get their COVID-19 while they do their weekly grocery shop.
At least 15,000 doses of Moderna’s vaccine have been sent to 22 Publix stores in Hernando, Marion and Citrus counties for distribution, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday.
“As part of our ongoing efforts to increase vaccinations and put Florida’s seniors first, I’m pleased to announce this innovative partnership with Publix,” DeSantis said at a press conference. “At the end of the day, we are all in this together, and the state of Florida thanks Publix for their willingness to step up and lend their infrastructure to this critical cause.”
