Ron DeSantis said Florida will get previously delayed shipments of coronavirus vaccine before the weekend.
Florida’s Division of Emergency Management confirmed Tuesday that weather conditions across the U.S. are also impacting the state’s shipment of Moderna vaccine.
Typically, the state receives its shipments of Moderna on Tuesday or Wednesday, but 200,000 doses have yet made their way to Florida.
As the state makes plans to quickly distribute the 209,000 doses of the delayed vaccine, DeSantis said Florida can only plan to receive them and not necessarily how they make it to the state.
“We are going to get the Moderna but it is not here when it would normally be here,” he said.
