‘This is a magic moment:’ Tampa General Hospital receives first batch of Covid vaccines

Tampa General Hospital, along with four other hospital systems across the state, received the first doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine Monday morning, a moment healthcare leaders and elected officials lauded as historic, miraculous and a triumph of science and teamwork. 

“This is a game changer,” said Governor Ron DeSantis at a press conference at TGH Monday where Vanessa Arroyo, a nurse who treats Covid patients at the Taneja Family Global Emerging Diseases Institute, received the state’s first dose of the vaccine. “It’s a great day for the U.S. and a great day for the state of Florida.”

State action gets credit for helping small retailers survive

Retailers in Florida are more likely to survive the pandemic than those in other states, according to a financial advisor with UBS Wealth Management.

The small businesses that make up a big chunk of the retail sector in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area are among the beneficiaries of state action to keep Florida open, said Frank Brawley, senior vice president of the UBS Brawley Wealth Management Group in Tampa. The survival of those small companies will have a long-term positive impact on the economy, he said.
