Florida finally gets vaccines from the Biden administration -- hope this helps.

If you're like me and have signed up but not gotten contacted for a shot, there is hope in the FEMA Vaccine Centers that open in Florida on March 3.

From the Tallahassee Democrat: https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2021/02/19/florida-one-two-states-receive-first-federal-covid-vaccination-centers-vaccine-fema-cdc/4505280001/

They are opening through a partnership with FEMA, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Florida Department of Health, Division of Emergency Management and the Florida National Guard, the governor’s office said.

Each site will open March 3 and operates 7 days a week, 7 a.m.-7 p.m....

The new federal sites will be at:

Miami-Dade Community College,
TGT Poker & Racebook in Tampa,
Valencia Community College in Orlando and
Gateway Town Center in Jacksonville.

Federal teams will immediately be sent to those locations to coordinate with state and local jurisdictions, and will be staffed primarily with federal employees ...

To pre-register with the statewide system, people can call their county designated phone number or visit myvaccine.fl.gov.

Do you live in Florida? If you do, you'd know why I say "finally."
