We learned yesterday that Disneyland Resort will become a super vaccine site for COVID-19. It looks like Walt Disney World could also host a vaccine distribution website, according to Gabrielle Russon in an update of its history with Orlando Sentinel.
Russon says Walt Disney World has offered to help the vaccine efforts in any way it can and is in talks with the state. Disney said it is focused on being a good community partner to help with the pandemic.
State emergency director Jared Moskowitz confirmed during a virtual meeting with representative Anna Eskamani that Walt Disney World has the capacity to store the vaccine in a deep-frozen freezer. “We have no problems with frozen freezer storage here in the state,” said Moskowitz. “There are many hospitals with them. County health departments have them. Some universities have them. Disney World has one. ”The Moskowitz department also purchased additional ultra-cool freezers.
Governor Ron DeSantis said vaccines can be discarded at schools in Walt Disney World and Orange County. “They can take this down very quickly. And it’s a shot and that’s it. So, I think it makes more sense with essential workers. “
Moskowitz also spoke about the state that is not receiving sufficient doses of vaccine and the logistical challenges that emergency authorities face. “Now I am building infrastructure, and now we will not be able to feed the infrastructure because we are not getting enough vaccine,” he said.
Walt Disney World has been hosting a COVID-19 testing site for several months, so distributing the vaccine would be the next logical step. Continue checking the WDWNT for updates.
