More appointments for the first dose for Florida seniors age 65 and older and frontline health care workers will be made available when St. Johns County receives additional vaccines. Last Thursday, when the county received an allotment of 1,950 Pfizer vaccines from the state of Florida, all appointments filled up just over an hour.
