Personas mayores de 16 años no deben presentar pruebas de residencia; ahora solo tienen que indicar ‘verbalmente’ que viven o prestan un servicio en ese estado

AFP's correspondent in Miami, Leila Macor, took part in such a trial organized by US biotech firm Moderna, which on November 16, 2020 announced that its experimental vaccine against Covid-19 was nearly 95 percent effective.
Why did Macor, who suffers from asthma, decide to be one of Moderna's 30,000 test subjects? Here, she recounts her experience, which began just weeks after her own father died of Covid-19 in Chile. (Photo by Leila MACOR / AFP)

Florida fue uno de los primeros destinos del turismo de vacunas. Miles de viajeros adinerados viajaron a ese territorio para aplicarse las dosis contra la covid-19 pero poca disponibilidad de vacuna llevó al estado a restringirlas solo a residentes. Ahora, con más cantidad de fármacos, las autoridades revirtieron la decisión. Foto: AFP. (LEILA MACOR/AFP)

Las personas que se vacunan en Florida, Estados Unidos, no tendrán que demostrar que residen en ese estado para obtener las dosis contra la pandemia de coronavirus.

Desde este viernes, todos los vacunatorios de ese territorio, ubicado en la costa este norteamericana, dejaron de solicitar ese requisito para suministrar el fármaco, a solicitud del Departamento de Salud de Florida.
