In Central Florida, Orange County led all others with more than 500 news cases. No other county reported more than 200.
According to the most recent data from the Department of Health, nearly 6 million Floridians have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Coronavirus vaccine clinics in some states across the country briefly stopped using the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after a small group of patients reported having reactions ranging from dizziness to nausea.
Pfizer has filed a request with the Food and Drug Administration to update its emergency use authorization to allow it to be used on children between the ages of 12 and 15.
It’s currently only allowed to be used by anyone age 16 and older.
