Starting Monday April 5 anyone over the age of 18 can get vaccinated in Florida! [View all]

I can not tell you how relieved I feel. While my 92 year old dad was vaccinated first (and hubby and I just recently got our first doses) my kids are millennials and zoomers and way down at the bottom of the eligibility list.

Only ten days to go.....
