Throughout the week, we’ve been getting more updates on this development: how it will work, who will have first access, and where it will be located. As the logistics for this big move are discussed, it leads us to question — could a similar set-up be made at Walt Disney World?
Theme parks are looking very different nowadays with plexiglass barriers, distancing measures, sanitizing stations, and even completely modified queues and experiences.

Florida has seen over one million total COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic, and now, the state has reported the highest number of daily COVID-19 cases on record.
Although Disney World is currently open, there are still several health and safety precautions on property due to the global health pandemic.

A couple weeks ago, the first batch of coronavirus vaccines arrived in Florida, and we have continued to look out for updates regarding the vaccine. The FDA recently authorized the Moderna vaccine after the Pfizer vaccine, so we’re giving you the latest update on the vaccine in Florida’s Orange County.
As the ongoing health crisis continues, we have been keeping an eye out for news regarding COVID-19.

Pfizer’s vaccine was authorized by the FDA last week and recently California hit a record-setting number of daily cases. But now, the FDA has approved Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, making it the second to be available for emergency use.
There’s been lots of news this week surrounding the distribution of the new Pfizer vaccine.

This morning, the first COVID-19 vaccines arrived in California following their recent approval by the FDA. Now, we have an update from California Governor Gavin Newsom about the distribution of vaccines in California.
The situation with the global pandemic is constantly developing. We’ve seen that COVID-19 testing kits can now be purchased online, and rules have recently changed out at Disneyland due to the stay-at-home order that is currently in place for Southern California.

Earlier today we also saw that Florida has received its first set of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines and even administered the first vaccine to a nurse during this morning’s press conference. But, Florida isn’t alone in terms of receiving doses of the coronavirus vaccine. Late last night, California also received its first shipment of the vaccine.
The situation with the global pandemic has been rapidly changing all around the world. Recently, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland closed again due to rising COVID-19 numbers in the area, and Southern California was placed under a regional stay-at-home order based on its ICU numbers.

There’s also been some news in terms of a COVID-19 vaccine, with the Pfizer vaccine approved and the expectation of thousands of doses being distributed to Florida soon, including many to Orlando. And today a vaccine milestone was reached — the first Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines have been received and administered in Florida.
We’ve been keeping a close eye on new developments amid the ongoing global health crisis.

From new sanitation technology to additional testing facilities, we’ve seen a number of new measures implemented to combat COVID-19 outbreaks. Following recent indications that a vaccine could soon begin distribution, we now have another vaccine update.
It was recently announced that states would be able to begin giving out the Pfizer vaccine to recipients as early as next week, depending on approval by the FDA.

Florida will be among the states receiving the vaccine and may be able to begin distributing it as early as Monday. The state could receive 179,400 doses of vaccine to begin administering, based upon allocation by the federal government, as reported by NBC2.
