ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The COVID-19 vaccination site at the west campus at Valencia College in Orlando will only issue second doses of the coronavirus vaccine starting Wednesday, according to the Florida Emergency Management.
FEMA officials said the site was designed to remain in the community for eight weeks.
The move to second doses only was made to make sure everyone who has already received the first dose at the FEMA site will get their second dose, according to officials.
