Yes but this would encourage more foreign travel thus more opportunities to spread the disease. More likelihood of infecting our citizens. Much better to ship it to their country.

They should have to wait just like we do and not jump ahead in line.

Guess what folks, life is not fair, and our government is even more unfair. Everyone should be used to it by now, if not, get used to it.

Total and complete lack of leadership in this state.

Wow, it’s just unbelievable how everyone thinks this is the end all for a virus that has a .02% mortality rate and the reactions to the vaccines are greater than 2.76% and now it’s the Governor’s fault because they are waiting for more shipments...smdh

I get your point, but I believe in Jesus Christ, so I will follow his teachings and have faith that in doing so will protect me.

Don’t get too excited. These foreigners can’t get vaccinated unless they apply and get a time and show up. I’m a citizen, and I’ve applied, but I haven’t yet received a time, and it seems that there isn’t vaccine available. If they fly in from Canada to get vaccinated and can afford it, so what? Many of these people (and it’s a very tiny number, anyway) come down and stay for a month or more waiting for their vaccinations. Meanwhile, they spend a LOT of money in Florida. That money benefits YOU! We need a lot more visitors here with a lot of money to spend on housing, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. I know people here in Florida who have registered in their home states for the vaccine, and if they get the opportunity, they will fly or drive home to get it. This cuts both ways.

TV isnt the only spot not getting the vaccine. The entire state is short or out of it and the lists arelong for those waiting their turn. TV isnt any better than any other place. Its not the only 55+ community!! Those giving other places high grades for getting the shot so fast just lucked out. Thats it

[Miriam2940]

There is no vaccine so NO ONE is getting vaccinated, don’t believe everything you read.

this matter should be followed up in the national news asking the governor to explain and resolve

[biker1]

Again with the same nonsense? Responding to your own posts? Really? Vaccines are being manufactured and distributed by the Federal Government and then farmed out to communities by the state. They have run out of the vaccines and are waiting for more. There was most likely a communications misunderstanding. There is nothing to resolve. They don't have vaccines.

I agree. Remember when the naysayers said we were YEARS away from a vaccine? Be patient and continue to keep yourself safe. We could be in much worse shape.
