What does that mean? I do not understand this sentence. There is a limited supply of this drug. Putting in a purchase order does not magically make more appear. Because supplies are limited, it has to be rationed. It would not be fair to help more patients in Florida than other states.
The article FM1 linked to said Florida had to order monoclonal anti-bodies from another company:
"DeSantis said the first purchase was for 3,000 doses of the drug sotrovimab, which was given emergency-use authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in May.
The governor said last week that he would pursue a direct-purchasing agreement with GlaxoSmithKline, as the state is unable to directly buy doses of Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment."
