Publix

The lawsuit contends that a Miami Beach deli worker was infected in late March by another employee who came to work with COVID-19.

The vaccine is now available at Publix stores in 325 stores across 23 counties in Florida.

Many seniors said they couldn’t get past a virtual waiting room, while also not having any idea whether they even had a chance at the scarce number of vaccines.

The vaccines will be available at eight Publix pharmacies in Indian River County and 11 in St. Lucie County, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced.

Hours after expanding the program to Palm Beach, Martin and Monroe, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced vaccines would be available at Publix pharmacies in Lee, Charlotte and Brevard.

The announcement this month that the state is partnering with Publix on vaccination sites comes a month after the supermarket chain made four $25K donations to governor’s political committee.

People 65 and older can now make appointments to receive the Moderna vaccine at 105 Publix pharmacies in 12 Florida counties.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday announced the opening of 26 new Publix locations where residents age 65 and older can receive the coronavirus vaccine.

The stores are part of a pilot program that will begin giving the vaccine Friday, as supplies last. More stores across the state could be added if distribution goes well.

The lawsuit claims the 70-year-old Miami Beach deli worker was prohibited by the grocery store chain from wearing a mask. He died on April 28.
