Here’s what we know about COVID shots in Florida
SUMMARY: In Florida, confusion grows over COVID-19 vaccine access. Jen, a Tampa resident with an underlying condition, struggles to find vaccination sites despite consistent annual shots. Pharmacies like CVS now require prescriptions for vaccines in 16 states, including Florida, while Walgreens limits availability. The FDA approved the 2025/26 vaccine mainly for those 65+, requiring high-risk younger individuals to have prescriptions. Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo opposes the vaccine, calling it unsafe. This hesitancy contrasts federal messages supporting choice, as CDC advisory meetings may soon clarify guidelines amid politicized debates. Many Floridians remain uncertain about vaccine availability and eligibility.
