Publix, one of the largest retail chains in the Southeast, is refusing to offer COVID-19 shots for children under age five. “Publix is not administering the COVID vaccine to individuals under 5 years of age at this time,” said the retail giant on its corporate website. According to Tampa Bay Times, a Publix spokesperson has declined to give an explanation or any other information regarding the company’s decision.
Publix’s customer service Twitter account is directing customers to “speak with pediatrician’s offices, community health centers, children’s hospitals, and public health clinics for availability at this time.”

Well, it looks like Florida won’t be alone in standing for the Nuremberg Code on human experimentation, at least if the Tennessee House leadership have their say.
It was widely reported last week that every state other than Florida purchased millions of doses of baby and toddler shots from the federal government – both Pfizer and Moderna – and immediately began injecting them into crying babies. While Florida was the only state to recommend against the shots, America is the only country to recommend for them. Even Israel, which was Pfizer’s laboratory, has not pursued vaccination of those under 5. So where are the other 20 or so red states?
On Tuesday, Tennessee state Rep. Jason Zachary of Knoxville penned a letter to Governor Bill Lee asking him to essentially follow the example of Florida’s health department and recommend against the shots. “We ask that you direct the Tennessee Department of Health to halt distribution, promotion or recommendation of COVID-19 vaccines for our youngest Tennesseans,” read the letter, which was signed by House speaker Cameron Sexton, majority leader William Lamberth, and caucus chairman Jeremy Faison.
Yesterday, I was joined by @tnhousegop Leadership in requesting that @GovBillLee direct the @TNDeptofHealth to halt any distribution, promotion or recommendation of the Covid vaccine for children under 5.
