Fox35 Orlando has reported that, in the state of Florida, vaccine distributions could begin as early as Monday or Tuesday.

Once approved, AdventHealth in Orlando will be among the first hospitals in the state to distribute the vaccine. The other hospitals that will receive the first round of vaccines are Jackson Memorial in Miami, Memorial Healthcare in Hollywood, and Tampa General – UF Health in Jacksonville.
