The change comes as the demand from seniors is decreasing and the federal vaccination sites throughout the state continue to see a low turnout of eligible people. DeSantis also said the increased supply also makes appointments to get a vaccine at grocery stores and pharmacies easier to obtain.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – One of North Florida’s most recognizable stadiums has changed from filling with fans for Gator games to one of the area’s largest COVID-19 vaccination sites. On Friday, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium -- known popularly as “The Swamp” -- was being used for a COVID-19 vaccine “blitz.” Around 1,100 senior citizens were vaccinated there. UF Health and the Alachua County Health Department are teaming up for the mass vaccine event for Alachua County residents age 65 and older. GALLERY: UF ‘Swamp’ is now mass COVID-19 vaccination siteOfficials said they chose Ben Hill Griffin stadium because it’s big, just about everyone in the area knows where it is and it’s fairly easy to access.

“There isn’t a day that goes by that we’re not a little nervous,” Jeffery Leach said. And it’s critically important that our community has that option to get the vaccine,” Jeffery Leach said. To get the state’s attention, he said members of the Down syndrome community created a campaign called #AShotAtTheShot. According to Jeffery Leach, there are about 1,500 people in Jacksonville that are diagnosed with Down syndrome. Those in high-risk populations can call a hospital and book a vaccine appointment, but some hospitals are waiting for more shipments of the vaccine.

Researchers in the lab of Dr. Nicole Iovine found the drug baricitinib plus remdesivir led to better patient outcomes than remdesivir alone. GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Combining an anti-inflammatory drug with an antiviral drug reduces recovery time and accelerates improvement for COVID-19 patients, a national study co-authored by UF Health researchers has found. Researchers also found fewer adverse events in patients receiving the combination treatment, and the 28-day mortality was 5.1% in the combination group versus 7.8% in the control group. The first trial of the study began in May and established remdesivir as a successful treatment for hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Thus, the next iteration of the adaptive study will evaluate the results of dexamethasone paired with remdesivir as a COVID-19 treatment, and compare those with results of the remdesivir and baricitinib study.

But they still had unused COVID-19 shots left over. Once at a certain temperature for a certain amount of time, Neilsen said the vaccine spoils and falls apart internally. “We do have sort of a waiting list. If people you know, miss an appointment, for some reason, we can pull from a waiting list and pull other people in,” Neilsen said. He says there has to be a common-sense solution instead of throwing away leftover doses of the vaccine.

Once health care and front-line workers are done, residents of long-term care facilities are next and then people aged 65 and older. They are the front-line health care workers in the emergency departments and the ICUs around the state,” Duane said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida is expecting to get around 120,000 doses of the vaccine as part of the first phase of distribution. The priority for health officials are hospitals and long-term care facilities. It’s likely the first doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine will be sent out within 48 hours. Partnering with the Division of Emergency Management and the Florida National Guard, the department said it will form “strike teams” to get those doses to where they’re badly needed at long-term care facilities. With 19,500 going to each hospital facility, UF Health in Jacksonville is one of them.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) prepares to review Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine this week, hospitals in Northeast Florida are prioritizing which healthcare workers will be the first to receive the vaccine in the case they don’t receive enough to vaccinate all willing staff members. UF Health in Jacksonville is one of five hospitals in the state – and the only hospital in Northeast Florida – to be selected to receive and distribute Pfizer’s vaccine to surrounding hospitals. The Centers for Disease Control and other federal agencies have already identified healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities as the first who should receive the vaccines in phase one of the roll-out. So, we have to be sensitive to that and again, this is a new vaccine,” said Neilsen. Megan Kennedy is the Vice President of Operations at Starling, a company that runs several long-term care facilities across Northeast Florida.

It’s the blood clots in her lungs -- forcing a dry cough -- worrying her now. “I’m taking blood thinners for the blood clots in my lungs, which are called pulmonary embolisms,” Bundy said.

Angiolillo said treating COVID-19 patients during hospitalization with blood-thinning medications has become standard of care.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 59-year-old Jacksonville man died Sunday after a motorcycle he was driving collided with a car in North Jacksonville. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the unidentified driver of the motorcycle was traveling southbound in the outside travel lane on Interstate 95 approaching Golfair Boulevard when he collided with another vehicle.

President-elect Joe Biden was in the Obama Administration when the Affordable Care Act first came was created.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Crowds that formed at polling places on Tuesday, despite their apparent smaller-than-usual size, still have the potential to spread the coronavirus as the holiday season looms. UF Health’s director of infection prevention, Chad Neilsen, said he would not be surprised by a surge in the coming weeks. “I think the potential really is there, particularly as we’re already seeing more cases and percent positivity increasing, especially across Northeast Florida and the rest of the state,” said Neilsen. “Because of the holidays, college kids tend to go back to their homes from school and they’re the ones who are more likely to have it asymptomatically and spread it,” Neilsen said. More information and recommendations from the CDC about holiday gatherings can be found on its website.

Another limitation was the researchers only reviewed the records of patients at UF Health. More investigation is needed to confirm the findings, but if confirmed they would be a boost for flu vaccination efforts, said Arch G. Mainous III, the study’s senior author. It’s not clear why a flu vaccination could potentially be beneficial for COVID-19 patients. One theory is that cells the influenza vaccine primes to kill the flu virus could also destroy the novel coronavirus. Another theory is that components, or “adjuncts," are added to the flu vaccine to make it more effective.

Researchers are actively enrolling eligible patients at UF Health Jacksonville in COVID-19-related research studies. The efforts contribute to important work being conducted around the world to help researchers and clinicians better understand and more effectively target treatment options for COVID-19 patients. “UF Health emergency medicine is leading the way around COVID-19 research on our campus.

Face touching is like breathing. One pre-pandemic study found that people touch their face an average of 23 times an hour. But what if a smartwatch beeped or vibrated every time your hand touched your face? Designing an app to accurately detect the movement of hands to face, however, is an extraordinarily complex task. How much can it curtail the undesired face touching?

University of Florida Health scientists are studying a trio of existing medications known to have broad antiviral activity. Two drugs have shown promising results in suppressing the Sars-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) in initial tests on human colon and lung cells that were infected with the coronavirus. We chose to research these drugs for effectiveness against COVID-19 because they have the most promise for broad-spectrum antiviral activity, Brown said. The ones being studied as a SARS-CoV-2 therapy are galidesivir, remdesivir and favipiravir. UF College of Pharmacy Director of Communications Matt Splett contributed to this report.
