JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – State health officials in Florida say if coronavirus vaccine doses at state vaccination clinics are set to expire and have gone unused, the state will immediately relocate the doses. The Florida Division of Emergency Management press secretary gave the example of doses hours away from spoiling being delivered to long-term care facilities or to another site in the area.

If people you know, miss an appointment, for some reason, we can pull from a waiting list and pull other people in,” Neilsen said. He says there has to be a common-sense solution instead of throwing away leftover doses of the vaccine.
