Florida will get more than 550,000 COVID vaccines this week. Here’s where they’ll go

Last week, the state received 811,400 doses that included the largest shipment of Johnson & Johnson doses to date. Next week, only 43,000 of the single-shot doses will come to Florida, a decrease of nearly 200,000. [Source: Orlando Sentinel]
