Governor Ron DeSantis stopped by Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola Wednesday morning to update the community on Florida’s supply of COVID-19 vaccines and discuss priorities for distribution to the state’s senior citizens.
DeSantis feels so strongly about putting elders at the head of the line, after frontline healthcare workers, that he decided to put it in writing.
“This morning, I’ll be signing an Executive Order (20-315) that makes it clear our seniors are going to be the first priority in the general community to receive the COVID vaccine,” he announced.
The governor says getting the senior population inoculated is important for reducing mortality and the number of people who need to be hospitalized for COVID-19. He felt an executive order was necessary because a CDC advisory committee had initially recommended seniors follow those categorized as essential workers.
