A friend brought to my attention that snowbirds visiting Florida this winter will be eligible to be vaccinated for covid while in Florida.

They are not Florida residents, they just spend a few months in Florida during the winter.

It’s not clear to me if they will be ahead of Florida residents who are younger adults, but that might be the case. It seems like it is likely the case if they can get vaccinated sometime in January, February, or March.

My friend is saying Florida will receive extra vaccine to accommodate snowbirds. I have no idea if that’s true. Even if the state gets vaccine per capita including snowbird population, it still takes time to vaccinate people.

Do you think snowbirds should come before residents?
