To beat coronavirus, herd immunity is the goal. Can Florida get there?
The rollout of coronavirus vaccines in Florida was heralded as a light at the end of the tunnel for a pandemic that has upended normalcy and killed 35,000 people in the Sunshine State alone. Now comes the question of just how long the tunnel is. “We have a lot of vaccines out there all over the place, but people aren’t getting it,” said Kevin Watler, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County. “How fast we can resume to normal really lies with people who are choosing not to get vaccinated.” More from the Tampa Bay Times.
