There are tens of thousands of Florida residents who are not US citizens. Most of them are here legally (some not, but most are). People *residing* in Florida come from all over the world.
If they are living in Florida when the vaccines are available, why should they be required to risk spreading virus to everyone who isn't yet vaccinated, just because they're not US Citizens? MOST people who want the vaccine, can't get it yet because they're not eligible. That means MOST people who want it, are currently unprotected.
If you force a significant segment of the state's population to NOT get the vaccine, you basically put them AND everyone they come in contact with, at risk.
Seems like a stupid thing to do.
Unless the information is wrong, and is being misinterpreted.

I would agree if there were plenty of vaccine available. But, most people who want it can't get it, not because they are not eligible, but because there is not enough vaccine available. The governor is just establishing a priority for who gets first access to the vaccine. That priority could change when more vaccine becomes available.
