@seaspray, it is true that each Mayo Clinic is beholden to the distribution plan of the state in which they are located. It's frustrating. Stage IV cancer patients should be included in an early phase, but that is up to the state.

For Florida, you can see updates about the vaccine’s availability for various groups on the Florida Department of Health’s COVID-19 vaccine website here. https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/covid-19-vaccines-in-florida/
Or text “FLCOVID19” to 888777 to learn more about the governor’s distribution plan.

I am in Florida too, and was able to get a vaccine yesterday through the county. It’s been a very difficult procedure only because the number of vaccines don’t match with the number of people who need it. The state of Florida has taken over for the county and that text number you just gave is the way to access it to get your name on the notification list. If you don’t have a computer or Internet access you can call the phone number. Have faith it’s getting better. I am also a Mayo patient, that relied on my county and Publix stores, Publix was overwhelmed with people trying to get the vaccine it was very frustrating. But it’s getting better!
