Palm Beach County s top health official admitted on Thursday there is a backlog of thousands of people who want to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and it could take months before they even get an appointment.
Speaking to a delegation of state lawmakers at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, health director Dr. Alina Alonso said the county simply doesn t have enough vaccine supply to meet the overwhelming demand of seniors 65 and older who want to get inoculated. Right now, the expectation is it s gonna take weeks to months before they actually get an appointment, Alonso said. We probably have thousands of people in the queue right now.
