THE VILLAGES — Gov. Ron DeSantis made another stop in The Villages on Monday, announcing that the Sumter County COVID-19 vaccination site that closed last month would reopen on Thursday.
DeSantis visited the site, run by Global Medical Response, on Jan. 12. Four days later, it closed, citing a shortage in vaccine supplies.
DeSantis said that the permanent drive-thru site would be allocated an initial 4,000 vaccines weekly, but the state could potentially up that number.
"It's all contingent upon the supply that's being sent to the states by the federal government," DeSantis said at a press conference held at the Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood. "But this was a very well-run site. I was able to be here. I spoke with a number of the seniors. They were very happy with how it went. And so when you know that something works, you want to continue to see that go."
