According to the Miami Herald, a Florida City police officer through a megaphone told 200 people waiting in line, “If you do not meet the criteria, you will not be vaccinated today." Vaccines must be refrigerated at extremely cold temperatures and used that day once they are removed.
The site, run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, administers 500 doses per day. It had enforced Gov. Ron DeSantis' rules Saturday morning, but when it became clear not enough eligible people would arrive, the workers invited anyone in for a shot.

Social media spread the news Saturday and people came from miles to the small town on the Florida peninsula’s southern tip to get their shots.
