Gov. Ron DeSantis

At a roundtable hosted by Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, farmworkers called on Gov. Ron DeSantis to open mobile vaccine sites in the rural areas where they live and work.

The governor says COVID-19 'passports' would create “huge” privacy issues. He made his comments after reports that the Biden administration was considering them.

While CDC guidelines have shut down the industry, cruises are being operated around the globe with protocols and no new coronavirus outbreaks tied to a ship, the governor says.

Gov. Ron DeSantis says "we're ready to take this next step" in announcing an expansion to eligibility on a YouTube video released Thursday.

The shots will be used to vaccinate homebound seniors and supply walk-up vaccine clinics.

The state has told the nursing home industry to abide by recently issued federal guidelines that allow visitors to touch fully vaccinated residents.

It took 13 minutes to fill the available spots for the county-run drive-thru location at the Orange County Convention Center, the first site in Florida to open eligibility to residents 40 and over.

As more people seek a return to a pre-pandemic existence, debate emerges about whether businesses should require proof of vaccination, an idea that Gov. Ron DeSantis calls "very, very bad."

The governor also said the state could soon be seeing as many as 42,000 Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses next week, and possibly more in the two weeks after that.

Gov. Ron DeSantis says he expects to expand eligibility to people 55 and up sometime this month, but wants to make sure the supply can support the demand.
