As news of the coronavirus' omicron variant spread after Thanksgiving, more unvaccinated Floridians got their first shots in the following week than at any time since late August.
Between Nov. 26 and Friday, 39,022 Florida residents received their first doses of the vaccine, the state Health Department reported Friday. That's the biggest weekly increase since Aug. 20. About 1.9 million people are awaiting their second shots.
The omicron variant has been detected in at least 10 states but not Florida yet.
