Florida had yet to reveal details Saturday afternoon for resuming Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine injections a day after federal officials lifted a pause on its use.
The state will most likely resume using the one-shot formula Sunday or Monday at federally supported sites capable of immunizing 3,000 people daily, a state emergency department spokeswoman said Friday.
Already, 531,770 people across Florida and 38,070 in Palm Beach County have received a jab of that vaccine, a health department report published Saturday shows.
RIVIERA BEACH – For Glenda Neal, the murder of a 7-year-old boy Wednesday morning in Riviera Beach brought back painful memories.
Neal, whose 28-year-old son, Tommy Neal Jr., was killed in a January 2019 shooting just outside the city limit, said Wednesday s killing occurred only a few blocks from her home.
On Friday evening, she joined other families affected by gun violence for a community outreach event at Wells Recreation Center. Twenty-six Crime Stoppers posters displaying the names and faces of past victims of unsolved homicide cases in the city adorned the fence of a nearby recreation field.
Neal said she was lying in bed watching her security cameras early Wednesday when she noticed several emergency vehicles pass by her home. She later learned of the 7-year-old s murder.
