Florida Vaccine Eligibility Age Drops To 50 Today; Next Step, DeSantis Said, Is Everyone Else
March 22, 2021
The COVID-19 vaccine is available to people age 50 and over beginning Monday in Florida, and the governor expects to continue expanding eligibility to Floridians in the next few weeks.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an order Friday lowering the vaccination eligibility age.
“We’re excited about the progress,” DeSantis said. “I think the demand is softened enough that opening up to 50-plus will be good.
The next step, he said will be to open vaccines up to anyone that wants one.
“I can’t tell you when exactly that will happen, but I can tell you it will definitely be before May 1. That’s not even a question, so stay tuned on that,” DeSantis said.

Every person should have the choice to get it or not. AJ getting a shot in your arm is not an incredibly easy decision when you don’t believe in the people giving the vaccine. It’s your right to get it or not period.
I hope everyone who can get the vaccine will get the vaccine.
I would rather have a vaccine in my arm than a deadly virus. It seems like an incredibly simple decision.
Im under the age of 50 and I got my vaccine in Jan, and Feb. Its a personal choice but being a nurse and a mother of school age children I don’t want to continue to put my family at risk bc of my job.
Why go below age 50?? People in that category have a better per percentage with Covid than getting the vaccine!! Why are they pushing this so much!! My community here is making it mandatory or you can’t enter community clubhouse. I call discrimination how about you all??
I hope companies will respect the rights of those who don’t want to take the vaccine risk.
Nobody should be force vaccinated.
