More than 100 Florida ZIP codes report more than 100% of their residents are vaccinated. · Health officials and Gov. Ron DeSantis say they have ...

Thanks for at least being a google user. I see nothing in the snip you quote that says anything about several counties nor anything about a county near 200%. I see a reference to zip codes.

I did your suggested wording and got nothing other than those two identical stories, paywalled. I did find a report from the Florida Dept of Health from Mar 15 that did not show a single county over 100%.

The phenomenon of some Zip codes having too many reported vaccines is not new. You can read a report, not paywalled, from Sep 2021 on how one zip code in Dade county had a vaccine rate of 2700%

People age 18 and over in the 33122 area code had more than a 2,700% vaccination rate, according to the data.

Why is that zip code significant?

“That’s the airport,” Gelber said.

Miami International Airport has been a pop-up vaccination site open to anyone — not just county residents.

“I think what has happened is they have included all the vaccine tourists in the numerator but the residents are the only ones in the denominator,” Gelber said. “So the result is that you have these very, very, high vaccination rates because anyone who is seasonal or visiting are included.

Unless you have something more, we can put the topic aside as you have overstated your case.
