Leaders in some states have argued that focusing on vaccinating elderly people rather than younger essential workers could help reduce the burdens on their health care systems. Here's how the effort to vaccinate the most vulnerable residents is going in some places. Wait times were longer than two hours, and at around 10 a.m., the county health department advised people to exit the line and come back at another time. Immunization program manager Shannon Bennett said during a news briefing that the state's vaccine distribution plan "continues to be fluid." Ron DeSantis has left it up to each county health department to decide how it administers the vaccines.
