Dr. Patricia Emmanuel, chair of pediatrics at the USF Morsani College of Medicine, said an edict like that for the entire state may be premature. She spoke about the issue with WUSF s Kerry Sheridan.

Franklin Cochran, 78, was one of more than 250 seniors vaccinated at a pop-up clinic in north Sarasota last Sunday. He said he was grateful for the opportunity to get his shot close to home.
Only about 1 percent of people vaccinated in Sarasota County are Black. Advocates say the distribution process puts underserved communities at a disadvantage. They re fighting to change that.
