Thanks to all of you who contacted our Governor and communicated you were against his policy to vaccinate anyone in our state of Florida no matter where they reside. NON-US citizens will no longer be able to receive a vaccine in our state.

As an aside, I never minded if US citizens who resided in another state received their vaccine in Florida. I was strongly opposed to NON-US citizens receiving vaccines here in the US.
I believe you will find that the statement, NON-US Citizens will no longer be able to receive vaccine in our state is not entirely true. Persons legally holding a U.S Govt issued green card are also eligible to receive the vaccine.
