Residents of The Villages frustrated over confusion as to where to receive second COVID-19 vaccine dose

THE VILLAGES, Fla. — Some people in The Villages were lucky enough to get that first vaccine last month, but now they are wondering where to go for their second because a vaccine shortage caused the drive-up site they went to close.

Some say they haven’t received any information regarding that second dose and they are due for their dose in the next few days.
