“It’s not his decision to make,” DeSantis said of the county leader’s plan. 

Desantis comments came Friday morning shortly after he announced a statewide expansion of vaccine eligibility to anyone 50 and older, also starting on Monday.

“I would note Orange County is below the state average in seniors vaccinated,” DeSantis added. “They’re at 63%. Trying to do healthy 40-years-olds over finding maybe some more seniors would not be the direction that I would go.”

Residents who are between the ages of 40 and 59 can visit ocfl.net/vaccine at 9 a.m. on Monday to make an appointment.
