I suspect that Publix may not want to give the vaccines in The Villages because it could cause a disruption to their grocery business with many people showing up without appointments. I got my first shot at a Publix about 65 miles away and the pharmacy was practically empty. They are scheduling the appointments far apart and their was no waiting required to get the vaccine. I didn't even see another person getting the vaccine.
