Gov. questioned about Publix carrying vaccine, but rural communities don’t have access
Ron DeSantis said that there are 350 Publix stores around Florida that are offering the COVID-19 vaccine, but many say the stores aren’t anywhere near rural, low-income communities. About 500 doses of coronavirus vaccine were distributed in Pahokee in far-western Palm Beach County on Wednesday. People are asking why other pharmacies aren’t getting access to the shots and saying that the closest Publix is 25 miles from them. “Then you wouldn’t just be talking about Publix, you’d be talking about Winn Dixie you’d be talking about Walmart, which I think would be really, really good,” DeSantis said. He also said that the reason Miami-Dade and Broward county does not have distribution in Broward County is also a supply issue.
