Miami Covid-19 vaccine clinics: How health officials are racing to vaccinate Floridians before the new school year

CNN  

CNN — Danielle Chin and three of her children arrived at a Miami middle school on Wednesday, intent on spending their day together with a singular purpose: to receive their first Covid-19 vaccinations. “It’s extremely worrisome, especially as schools are re-opening fully in the fall,” said Dr. Lisa Gwynn, president of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. “I worry about the toll that Covid continues to take on families, across not only our entire area here in Miami but across the entire country.” ‘We jumped the gun’ Dr. Aileen Marty, a professor of infectious diseases at Florida International University, said that a relaxing of Covid-19 restrictions has proved troublesome in the fight against the pandemic. “I hope parents see how important it is to take their kids to go get vaccinated before school starts.” Danielle Chin brought three of her children, Dhazima, Marqes and Trayveon, to receive their Covid-19 vaccinations at a mobile clinic in Miami on Wednesday, July 14. Hodge said she “wanted to wait a little because it’s kind of new and I just wanted to see how it was, effects on other people.” Hodge said her daughter in her mid-20s will soon receive her vaccine, and Hodge wants to make sure that her daughter has no adverse reactions before she and others get theirs.
