Though the federal government recently authorized the COVID-19 vaccine for children under 5, Publix supermarkets will not offer the vaccine to children in that age group.
The governor chose Publix to be a key part of Florida’s vaccine rollout in early 2021, but the chain announced this week it won't offer shots to the recently-approved under-5 age group.
A major grocery chain that was among the leaders in the early distribution of COVID-19 vaccines will now refuse to provide the jab to pre-school-age children.
