NEWS: Florida Announces ALL Adults Will Be Eligible for COVID-19 Vaccine in April

There are more updates to the Florida vaccination eligibility requirements.

At the beginning of March, President Biden directed all states to open up vaccine eligibility to those 18+ by May 1st. In response, Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, has expressed that Florida eligibility requirements will be “way ahead” of that timeline and most recently made people 50+ eligible for the vaccine. But, that requirement is changing yet again beginning next week.

According to Fox Orlando, DeSantis announced today that he will be expanding the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to those 40 and older beginning March, 29th. In addition, he shared that the following week on April 5th, all Florida residents 18 and older will be eligible for the vaccine.
