WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) —
Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner and Publix both say a recent report by 60 Minutes on vaccines in Florida is false.
... Publix blasted the report, saying in part, "The irresponsible suggestion that there was a connection between campaign contributions made to Governor DeSantis and our willingness to join other pharmacies in support of the state's vaccine distribution efforts is absolutely false."

Publix is, I think, grocery chain with pharmacy.
Just like Kroger or Safeway in other parts of the country.
Because of political pressures, and mail order competition, pharmacies are trying to diversify, from just drug distribution, which is not too profitable any more. One of the ways to diversify is to administer vaccines.
That’s going on for at least a decade.
By now, they have perfected the vaccine administration.
It would be rather odd, if Publix decided not to participate the vaccinations, as well as, if it was not asked to do so.
They have the means and skills, the state needs vaccination centers. Nothing else!
I doubt many have the facilities on hand to do so consistently without a lot of waste.
