Florida State University is now extending COVID-19 vaccination appointments to employees who are deemed extremely vulnerable to the coronavirus. 
FSU employees must have certain medical conditions to register for a vaccine. That includes being immunocompromised, obese, diabetic, or having chronic lung disease or serious heart conditions. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a full list of conditions that would make someone more at risk of getting sick from the coronavirus. Employees must have their doctor fill out a form to verify that they have one of those conditions.
