It is possible Florida has the highest rate for those over 65, but that is only because the population of 65+ individuals is higher in the state. Overall, vaccination rates in Florida are pretty average.
It could be but if you look at the states that are leading according to many of these tracker sites, they are very small states population wise. Texas and Florida lead states that have significant population. It's easy for states like Alaska, West Virginia and Utah to distribute 300,000 shots as opposed to states like Florida and Texas that are dealing tens of millions of people.
