36. I called FL Dept. of Health today specifically about the COVID vaccine. Got a Magic 8-ball answer, "ask again later."

The staff couldn't say what the current state policy is until it hears from the CDC. They're juggling input from FL scum gov. Desatan, quack state surgeon general Lapado, and Brainworm Bobby Jr.---(imagine what it's like to try to maintain public health with those POS giving the orders!). There may be more info available tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 19, but who knows.

The phone # I called was 1-877-888-7468. Staff really tried to be helpful, given everything they're dealing with.
