Vaccination center at MDC cared for any Florida resident – Telemundo Miami (51)

The FEMA-supported vaccination center on Miami Dade College’s north campus today vaccinated virtually any Florida resident who came to the facility.

On this issue, the governor said that this center is operated by the federal government and that people with the highest risk should be the priority.

However, fema told Telemundo 51 that it is the state that determines who can be vaccinated on this site. Fema only provides financial support and the presence of the National Guard.

From early on, a long line of cars was seen and then in the afternoon the line of people began to fill up to enter the camp and get vaccinated

Miami Dade police officers denied access to several people who attempted to walk onto campus. They were told that they had to arrive in a vehicle. The state confirmed to us that these places are specifically designed for these types of people and that they must allow everyone to pass through without exception.

However, Miami Dade police say their officers received a direct order from the state-operated vaccination site.

Meanwhile, vaccination at Jackson Memorial Hospital was expanded today. The last categories include anyone over 18 and under 16 and 17, accompanied by their parents.

Today is the first day that they will not require medical documentation

To get vaccinated at the Jackson, you have to schedule your appointment on the hospital portal, today’s ones sold out in less than two hours.

Tomorrow is the last day of mobile unit vaccinations in Sweetwater and Florida City and starting Thursday they will open and be vaccinating in Miami Springs.
