DeSantis Ignores Higher Ed Faculty, Employees in Vaccination Plans

Call Governor DeSantis: (850) 717-9337

This is a developing story. As of 2pm on Thursday March 4, 2021, UFF does not have evidence that higher education personnel are included in any vaccination prioritization in Florida. If this changes, we will celebrate! But until then, we ask you to call the Governor to ask that he include Higher Ed personnel priority vaccinations.
