Another deputy informs them that their names will be flagged using the vaccine software.

\"You're not gonna get a vaccine. So you gotta wait your turn,\" the deputy says. \"If you come back, any time, you're going to be arrested.\"

\"Any question about that?\" he continues, as the women nod in acknowledgment. \"You're lucky you're not being arrested right now.\"

While standing outside the car, the woman could be seen wearing face masks and gloves. One of them also had on a face shield, hat and long shawl, and the other glasses and a cardigan. It is unclear if they were wearing the full disguises as described by Pino.

There have been a few cases of people misrepresenting themselves to receive a dose, Pino said, adding that it's probably \"higher than we suspect.\"

The county has increased security at the vaccination site to \"deter any possible ill-intentions that someone may have,\" Pino said.

\"This is the hottest commodity that is out there right now,\" the director said. \"So we have to be very careful with the funds and the resources that we are provided.\"

Beyond health care workers and residents and staff of long-term care facilities, those age 65 or older are eligible to get the vaccine in Florida. Nearly 45% of that population has been inoculated in Orange County, officials said Thursday.

Last month, Florida started requiring proof of residency for COVID-19 vaccinations in select counties in the wake of concerns about \"vaccine tourism\" after eligibility was opened up to anyone age 65 and older.

The expanded eligibility resulted in long lines, with some older people even camping overnight in lawn chairs in the hopes of getting vaccinated.

As of Thursday, Florida had administered approximately 3.8 million COVID-19 vaccine doses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
