Miami-Dade Mayor Says Everyone Can Get COVID Vaccine in April

Miami-Dade County is closing in on full vaccine eligibility for people of all ages as the state and county governments have announced lowered age requirements for the COVID-19 vaccination in coming weeks.

At a press conference this morning with Florida’s outgoing emergency-management director, Jared Moskowitz, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that state-run vaccine sites will be open to people 50 and older starting Monday, March 22, and that eligibility is likely to expand to the general population by May 1. Last week, President Joe Biden directed all state leaders to open vaccine eligibility to all adults by May 1.

At the same time, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced this morning that county-run sites will begin administering vaccines to younger age groups at a slightly quicker pace.
