Who gets vaccinated next? Florida's the only state that doesn't tell you.

Florida is the only state that hasn’t told its residents who will get shots next, when more doses are available, according to an analysis of state rollouts by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit focused on national health issues. Instead, Gov. Ron DeSantis has been laser-focused on vaccinating seniors, telling other groups to wait their turn.

“Most states are providing information,” said Jen Kates, Kaiser’s vice president. “Maybe they haven’t put it out for all phases, but at least for the next phase coming up. All but one state, and that’s Florida.” No clear statement on who’s next in line

DeSantis said at a Miami area news conference Tuesday that sworn law enforcement officers and classroom teachers will get access to vaccines next, when the Federal Emergency Management Agency opens new vaccination sites in Florida on March 3. But the statement, like many made by DeSantis through the pandemic, was non-specific — and his staff rarely responds to follow-up questions seeking more details.

The lack of clear messaging has left millions of essential workers confused about when they might have access to vaccines. Neither they nor other groups recommended as key for vaccination by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — like those younger than 65 who are medically vulnerable — have been told when their time will come.

One thing that we do know...the parts of the state that voted red or gave donations to the GOP seem to be getting more vaccine than blue counties.

2. Florida has 20 percent of its population over 65

The highest in the country. Will take longer to get them all through. I figured I’d be up for vaccines in May by the time they get to my age group.

3. Someone feeling

a bit powerful, playing God I see.

In Kentucky, we have almost all of our teachers vaccinated. I read will be first in the nation. We have a Dem Gov, and thankfully we have that.
