NEWS on COVID-19 in Florida: Frontline workers get first Pfizer shots as Florida reports 8,334 new coronavirus infections
“Thousands of vials of the first U.S.-approved coronavirus vaccine are arriving all over the country Monday, however, immunity from the infectious disease is still months away.
Florida has now topped 1.12 million infections since March, according to the Florida Department of Health data, as Gov. Ron DeSantis was in Tampa Monday for some of the first doses of the vaccine to be administered.
Among the first in the U.S. and in Florida to receive the Pfizer vaccine shots will be health care workers serving on the pandemic frontlines. A registered nurse administered one of the first doses at Tampa General Hospital to another RN as DeSantis stood nearby watching. UF Health in Jacksonville was technically the first to give out a shot in Florida by about an hour.
The first doses in Central Florida will arrive at AdventHealth in Orlando Tuesday, with the first shots given out to frontline workers Wednesday.
Shots made by Pfizer Inc. and its German partner BioNTech are the first authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration -- beginning what will become the largest vaccination campaign in U.S. history.”
