ORLANDO, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis took aim at President Joe Biden on Friday, saying, “I am not going to let him lock down Florida” again, even if the coronavirus pandemic worsens.
The Republican governor also said he hoped to announce by next week the date on which the age to get the COVID-19 vaccine would fall to 55 in Florida and repeated that it was his goal to have all adults in the state eligible to be inoculated before the end of April. The age will drop from 65 to 60 starting Monday, the governor has said.
In his address to the nation Thursday night, Biden said he wanted all adults eligible for the shots by May 1.
