Ron DeSantis objected Monday to the way a $1.9 trillion federal coronavirus stimulus package would distribute money to states. DeSantis said the package, approved by the U.S. House this weekend, would penalize states such as Florida that have lower unemployment rates than other states. The package includes $350 billion for states and the District of Columbia and would divvy up the money based on unemployment rates. Florida had a 6.1% unemployment rate in December. The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is scheduled to release a January unemployment rate on March 15.

A draft of the CDC COVID-19 vaccine plan for Florida shows distribution will require partnerships between the Florida Department of Health, health care providers and community organizations. The Florida DOH already has a distribution plan in place and local governments have been stocking up on refrigeration equipment and other supplies to be prepared to administer the shots.
