Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has taken heat over his COVID-19 vaccine roll out by Florida Democrats because they believe that he has not done enough to vaccinate all Floridians, even though vaccines being distributed by the federal government have been slow to arrive. But now Gov. DeSantis is warning that the supply of vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson has dried up, and there will not be any vaccines being shipped to Florida for several weeks, possibly even longer. Yet the Biden administration is sending vaccines to Mexico.
“We’re projecting NO increase in the vaccine for Pfizer or Moderna for the next two or three weeks under the projected allotments right now,” said DeSantis. “We thought by the time we get into April the flood gates would open. As of right now, we are projected to get NO additional Johnson & Johnson for the foreseeable near future.”
This is not what Floridians who have not received the vaccine wanted to hear, but DeSantis believes that vaccines will “eventually” start arriving.
“We know eventually we’re going to start getting more Moderna, more J& J, and more Pfizer, that will happen, but it isn’t going to happen over the next few weeks it seems,” added DeSantis.
Gov. DeSantis has put millions of vaccine shots in the arms of Floridian’s 65 and older, and as now individuals 60-years-old are eligible to receive a vaccination.
DeSantis also said that those 50-year-olds will soon be able to get a COVID shot of their own, but that official announcement won't come until later in the month.
