Ron DeSantis said all employees at K-12 schools could get the vaccine through pharmacies and federal-run sites such as the newly opened vaccine center at Miami Dade College North. This is NOT acceptable, Karen Morian, the president of the United Faculty of Florida, which represents about 22,000 educators in the state, said in a statement. Now that the governor has admitted the scientific value of vaccinations and publicly voiced support for vaccines, we call on him to recognize that education in Florida continues beyond K-12 and to include ALL educators in Florida s vaccination programs.
