Broward JIC Snapshot #14:
Governor Expands Vaccine Eligibility
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- On Monday, March 1, Governor Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order Number 21-47, which expands the populations eligible for vaccination to include K-12 school employees age 50+, sworn law enforcement officers age 50+, and firefighters age 50+. DOH-Broward will be administering these vaccines in collaboration with partners in closed PODS. All other vaccination efforts for seniors 65+ and frontline healthcare workers are continuing.
- The Governor’s latest Executive Order also clarifies that access to the vaccine for individuals “extremely vulnerable to COVID-19” must be determined by a physician using eligibility criteria defined by the Department of Health. This criteria is still under development. Further details on how this will be implemented in Broward County will be shared as available.
About the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine
DOH-Broward and partners are administering vaccine to eligible residents almost as soon as the limited supplies come in. Behind the scenes, they have been pre-planning for rapid expansion of the vaccine program, once additional supplies are received. For example, implementation plans were already well underway for the just-announced expansion of eligibility to K-12 school employees, law enforcement and fire personnel. New vaccination site locations are planned for eastern Broward County, as soon as vaccine becomes available. Details on these and other expansion efforts to come.

TSA Now Requires Face Masks at Airports and Onboard Aircraft
Effective February 2, 2021, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires face masks for anyone traveling in a U.S. airport and onboard aircraft. Failure to comply with the new federal mandate, which runs through May 11, 2021, may result in removal from the airport, denial of re-entry, and civil penalties.
Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), is actively promoting this new federal face mask requirement throughout the airport, on its website, and through social media. Airport personnel will ask individuals not wearing a mask to put one on, and if they don't have one, a mask will be provided. If they refuse, per the TSA Security Directive, they will be escorted from the airport.
The new TSA mandate will complement FLL's ongoing FLLy Safer, FLLy Smarter, FLLy Better public confidence campaign launched in June 2020, which reminds everyone to wear face masks in the terminals and Rental Car Center.

Hargray Youth Enrichment Center (VEHYEC) 45-day trend of administered COVID-19 exams, international, national, state and tri-county positive and death cases as of 11 am today which includes COVID-19 statistics per Miramar zip codes, antibody testing statistics, and Florida County and City statistics, which provides insight on how Miramar is doing in comparison to other localities.
Positivity rates shown below are based on Broward County and Florida State numbers for testing, which include all positive and negative testing results. There are instances where media outlets publicize only Florida resident positivity rates, which can be misleading as this only highlights a segment of the number of persons tested. There are non-resident positive cases that may include those individuals who spend the winter here, students who may attend school here but their permanent address is elsewhere, are here on a work visa or who simply never remembered to change their ID to their current Florida address. The charts below include the entirety of the population tested, to include the aforementioned individuals.
*New case positivity rates shown are based on Broward County residents testing positive for the first time and excludes those who previously tested positive. Values subject to change after the fact as additional results received.
