At a news briefing in The Villages senior community, DeSantis said his “Seniors First” strategy has led to about 30% of people 65 and older in the state receiving vaccines. Now, with 307,000 doses arriving this week rather than 260,000 in prior weeks, the state will push the additional supply out into senior communities. One of those will be The Villages, which will set up a permanent drive-through with 4,000 first doses of Moderna on Thursday.
