One-day mobile vaccination sites will open their doors to the public this weekend all over South Florida.

In partnership with community organizations, the Florida Division of Emergency Management is hoping to increase vaccine access to all Floridians by hosting mobile vaccine sites.

Each site will be able to administer 400 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

To get a J&J shot at these sites proof of Florida residency is required and a person must match one of the following criteria: be 40 years old or older; healthcare worker with direct patient contact; long-term care facility resident or staff; or be 18 years old or older with high-risk health condition and have a physician-signed form.

While these sites do have set closing times, the sites can close sooner if they run out of doses.

  • Jordan's former Crown Prince under house arrest

    Jordan's former Crown Prince Hamza bin Hussein said in a video recording on Saturday he was under house arrest.The country's military had told him to halt actions used to target the country's "stability and security". People familiar with the matter said this could be related to a plot to 'destabilise the country'.Hamza said in the video, passed by his lawyer to the BBC, that he was not part of any foreign conspiracy and denounced the ruling system as corrupt.In state media, the military warned Prince Hamza was part of a broader, ongoing security investigation in which a former minister, a junior member of the royal family and unnamed others were detained.Earlier army chief Yusef Huneity denied reports that Hamza had been arrested.The authorities have become increasingly concerned with his efforts to build ties with disgruntled figures within powerful tribes.King Abdullah dismissed Prince Hamza as heir to the throne in 2004 in a move that consolidated his power.Prince Hamza is not seen as a major threat to Jordan's monarchy and has been marginalised for years, but this move against him represents the first such incident involving a close member of the royal family since King Abdullah came to the throne.Government officials were not immediately available for comment.

  • SNP branches are repaying money after wrongly claiming Covid business support, Nicola Sturgeon says

    SNP branches who claimed thousands of pounds in Covid business support were wrong and the money will be paid back, Nicola Sturgeon said on Friday. The party has been urged to “come clean” on the number of branches that claimed the support, after two Angus branches were told to pay back £20,000 in help they should not have been given. The Arbroath and Montrose SNP branches each made successful £10,000 business support grant applications to Angus Council last year, but have since been told the rules don’t permit grants to political parties and have been ordered to repay the cash. Alex King, Arbroath West and Letham SNP councillor and branch treasurer, said the rules around the grants initially did not state that political parties weren’t entitled to the support. Speaking to journalists on Friday, the First Minister said she is “not aware” of other branches claiming the lifeline fund and admitted that it would not “be an appropriate use of public money”.
