A New Day in America

Dear friends and neighbors,

This week, we began a new era in our nation’s history as President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in.

Hours after taking the oath of office, President Biden took a historic number of actions to deliver immediate relief for families across America. He has implemented numerous executive actions changing the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing economic relief, tackling climate change and advancing racial equity.

On day one, President Biden signed executive orders to:

Boost Vaccine Production and Distribution
Implement a 100-day Mask Challenge
Rejoin the World Health Organization (WHO)
Extend Eviction and Foreclosure Moratoriums
Rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement
Extend Student Loan Pause
Preserve DACA
Reverse Census Order Excluding Undocumented Immigrants from the Reapportionment Count
Revoke the Muslim Ban
Extend Student Loan Forbearance

Together, the Democratic White House, Democratic House of Representatives and Democratic Senate will work to not only recover from the devastating pandemic and economic crisis – we will Build Back Better.

Demand for the COVID-19 vaccine is far in excess of the supply the state has received so far. It is anticipated that additional supplies will be coming soon. Florida has many sites that are providing COVID-19 vaccines to eligible persons. The state is prioritizing persons 65 years of age and older and health care personnel with direct patient contact and residents and staff of long-term care facilities. Please be aware that some locations are only serving very specific populations, such as frontline health care workers. Appointments may be required and vaccine availability will vary from day to day and week to week, as we work to provide vaccines to the most vulnerable first.
