Palm Beach officials: Preparation meant town was ready once COVID-19 vaccines became available

When the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci said in September that five of the six vaccine candidates were already in phase 3 trials, Palm Beach officials and staff got to work.
And two months after Palm Beach Fire Rescue Chief Darrel Donatto told town council members he was very optimistic about the town having the first COVID-19 vaccines as early as December, the town sent out an alert on Thursday announcing that residents 65 and older could now make an appointment online to receive the first Moderna vaccines starting Tuesday.
