| Fla. begins COVID vaccine appointment system]Federal regulations and guidance from emergency managers agree that there cannot be residency requirements for receiving the vaccine.
The state is also administering the vaccine at Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami-Dade County.
Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins, whose district includes parts of Miami, called it a bad idea to let cities reserve vaccine doses for their residents.
“We’re working on a registration system that we plan to launch in the coming weeks to help integrate site registration and fix some of the problems that we’ve all read about,” he said.
In Pinellas County, reservations for 10,000 vaccines were filled in about one hour after registration opened on Friday morning.
