ORLANDO, Fla. – As part of an effort to get people in underserved communities access to the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov.
Ron DeSantis announced several one-day vaccination events happening this weekend across the state. A long line of cars stretched through the St.
Philip Van Minh Vietnamese Catholic Church in Orlando on Saturday. State Reps. Travaris McCurdy and Anna Eskamani worked with the state to get 600 people vaccinated on Saturday. “We wanted to come to the community, to trusted sites and work with trusted voices,” McCurdy said.
The event at the church was one of nine happening in the coming days across Florida as part of DeSantis’ partnership with the faith-based community.
