Last Friday, Pensacola Mayor Grover Robinson told Inweekly that he expected the vaccine for COVID-19 to be available in the Pensacola area in January or February.

“We’ve been told the vaccine is going to come to hospitals directly,” said the mayor.  “It starts with hospital workers, first responders, and then the long-term care. The next phase is like your essential workers.”
