ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not saying whether he will get a booster shot for the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine he received in the spring, a spokesperson said.
It’s also unknown whether the Republican governor will hold any events at vaccination sites to promote the boosters.
“Gov. DeSantis chose to get the COVID-19 vaccine several months ago, after his age group became eligible,” spokesperson Christina Pushaw said. “As he has said, he made that choice because of evidence that getting vaccinated lowers an individual’s risk of becoming seriously ill from the virus. But the right choice for him, or even for most people, is not necessarily the right choice for everyone.”
