Ron DeSantis drew applause Wednesday for his refusal to take the coronavirus vaccine ahead of senior populations, telling reporters he is "not the priority." DeSantis’ comments come as the vaccine has started to reach first responders, elderly populations and leadership figures -- including congressional members — across the U.S. The governor said that elderly residents can expect to see an increase in the New Year in number of vaccines distributed to the state’s 67 counties as the U.S.’s largest elderly population volley for the vaccine on a first-come, first-serve basis. Florida is preparing to receive 127,100 doses of the Moderna vaccine, 93,900 of which will be distributed to county health departments that have yet to receive a vaccine. The second round of Pfizer vaccines are expected to be distributed next week to individuals who received the vaccine during week one.
