COVID vaccines: All it takes is a doctor’s note and a Florida site with an open door

Since December, Florida had been vaccinating only people 65 and older. But last Friday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order to allow people under the age of 65 who are “extremely vulnerable” to COVID-19 to be eligible for the vaccine. Four days later, and only hours before the order went into effect, the Department of Health posted a form for physicians. The form does not require an explanation of the medical condition.
