Seniors visit neighboring counties for COVID-19 vaccine January 19, 2021 at 2:50 PM EST - Updated January 19 at 6:56 PM
Several seniors in Palm Beach County, frustrated with long waits and unsuccessful attempts to get vaccinated against COVID-19, are visiting neighboring counties to get their shots.
Contact 5 has reportedly extensively on the rough rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in Palm Beach County.
Now, Contact 5 has learned some seniors are finding vaccination appointments more accessible outside of Palm Beach County. I have asthma and COPD, and I could not get an appointment anywhere, Marjorie Zimmerman, 76, of Lantana, said. I tried and I tried.
Zimmerman was finally able to get the vaccine recently at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.
