With a smile, a College of the Florida Keys nurse prepares to administer a COVID-19 shot to a male recipient.
Around 400 eligible individuals received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on March 7 at the Murray Nelson Government Center in Key Largo. For the largest vaccine clinic in the Keys so far, nurses from the College of the Florida Keys teamed up with the Florida Health Department in Monroe County to administer shots. Those who were inoculated signed up online through the state’s registration website.
