Each can interpret for themselves but the inclusion of “widely available” suggests that I, as a non-resident snowbird and Florida property owner, will have to wait until the vaccine is available to the general public. Guess I may have to return to Ohio if I want to receive the vaccine in the 65+ age group.
What's missing in your post is what are the certain groups that the vaccines are strictly limited to. I would say that these groups do not include anyone in the general public and we will all have to wait whether we are residents or snowbirds, renters, or owners, it's going to be based on age.
