SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Seminole County is marking a major milestone this week as it begins administering second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to the public on Monday. Seminole County became the first county in the state to offer the vaccine publicly on Dec. 28, 2020. He said this week they’re expecting to get 1,900 doses, which is half of what they got last week. We’ll continue the second doses, but the first doses we’re not going to be able to do because we continually get cut by the state on vaccine allotment,” Harris said. It’s almost impossible to plan for the future when you have so little vaccine coming to the county,” he said.
