Law enforcement officers are considered to be some of the most at-risk to be exposed to COVID-19, but records show law enforcement officers and staff in our area are not rushing to get the vaccine.
The Florida Sheriffs Association asked law enforcement agencies to survey their employees to see how many would be interested in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, gauging how many doses they should prepare to provide.
Currently, only law enforcement officers who are older than 65-year-old are eligible for the vaccine. Survey results show many do not want the vaccine or want to wait at least six months to a year.
