Police do not encourage anyone to camp out the night before an event.
Officers said anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 in the past two weeks or had a COVID-19 vaccine shot in the past two weeks will not be allowed to get a shot.
Outside the Daytona Stadium Friday, car after car slowed down to scope out the site, like Patrick Wall.
“I was just looking to see exactly where the COVID-19 vaccine shots were going to be distributed,” Wall said.
Wall said he expects a big crowd.
“I think it’s just going to be chaos, I don’t [think] it’s a good strategy. You will probably have a good amount of people who probably will leave without a shot,” Wall said.
No matter what, Wall said he is going to attempt to be one of the first people in line.
“I realize I have to wait a few hours, but you know I’m willing to give it a shot,” Wall said.
