As much as I think Gov DeSantis has done a wonderful job rolling out the vaccination process, I feel the 65 and over policy was not well thought out. I agree with Winn-Dixie's policy. Those in essential positions should be first in line for the vaccine after all they have been keeping our communities running as smoothly as possible. After essential workers, then those with highly compromised immune systems and seniors over 75 should be next in line. I would have liked to have seen a higher age limit as seniors in that age group often aren't computer/technology literate and weren't able to compete with those younger than them for a coveted spot in line. The media has brought on utter fear about COVID and created a group of manic seniors looking to get vaccinated. I recognize COVID can be deadly but comparing deaths to cases doesn't support the hype.
