BELLE GLADE, Fla. - On a bright and sunny winter day, Tammy Jackson-Moore is going door-to-door in this town, offering appointments to receive a coronavirus shot.
In a state where getting a slot for the vaccine amounts to snagging a golden ticket, Jackson-Moore is offering that ticket to anybody she can find older than 65.
The need is acute in Florida: The state has the greatest prevalence of a fast-spreading virus variant first identified in the United Kingdom. The emergence of variants globally has added to the urgency of getting as many people as possible a shield of protection against the pathogen.
