Governor Ron DeSantis has threatened to pull one of his vaccine clinics in Florida after he was accused of prioritising wealthy, white residents over other population groups.

Manatee County announced on Tuesday that the Florida's Division of Emergency Management would host a "pop-up" vaccination site for residents to receive a Covid-19 vaccine.

But the pop-up site was selected for only two zip codes of the county: 34202 and 34211.

Mr DeSantis and his administration received backlash quickly after from Republicans and Democrats for prioritising the "whitest" people in the county to receive a vaccine.
