ORLANDO, Fla. — An increase in production from both Pfizer and Moderna means Florida is set to get a big jump in vaccine supply next week.
According to data released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday, the state will receive 417,430 initial doses between the two brands, as well as another 417,430 set aside for the recommended second dose. That’s up from 340,600 that was to be delivered this week, although the winter storms ravaging the rest of the country have slowed some of its actual delivery.
Doses typically arrive between Monday and Wednesday the week after they are announced.
