I'd like to see the original source for this claim. Can't find it from AP which is who this article is claiming to quote. I am also unable to locate it from the Florida Dept of Health (they claim that the comms director said this).
Sounds like someone made up a number and is running with it since they didnt even put it in quotes.
We need better sources people. Just because TampaFP reports it doesn't make it reliable.
I don't doubt the number though, I just want a source to back up my claims if I were to go out repeating this info.
**The more we lose credibility, more people will refuse to listen and more people will die. Not trying to be a dick, but I'd like to get this info from the primary or at least a secondary source.

"Six percent of Florida’s COVID-19 cases in the past month have been among vaccinated individuals, Weesam Khoury, spokesperson for the state Department of Health, said in an emailed statement last week."
This is a polar opposite. Granted while I think this is BS numbers (because they are changing the thresholds / not testing vaccinated to skew the results), the point i'm trying to make is that it looks like someone is changing what the spokesperson said. I think this is purposeful misinformation to discredit us.
This recent CDC study shows 74% of cases are amongst vaccinated in a population with 69% vaccination rate. It shows that 4/5 of the hospitalization cases were vaccination (and the one unvaccinated person had underlying conditions). It shows that the viral load (ability to transmit to others) between vaccinated and unvaccinated is similar.
Only 6% of people hospitalized unvaccinated though.
Only 6% of people hospitalized unvaccinated though.
Only 6% of people hospitalized unvaccinated though.
Only 6% of people hospitalized unvaccinated though.
Only 6% of people hospitalized unvaccinated though.
So that means.... most of the super duper sick people are vaccinated!

I found this from about a week ago:

EDIT:
A FAR better example is CDC report: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7031e2-H.pdf

I heard on the radio a few days ago that someone make a statement about this, and then later said the opposite and that the original was a mistake.
I don't remember which was which, because I was only casually listening, and it caught my attention almost after the fact.
So, it needs to be looked into more, for sure.
That was UK stating 60% of hospitalizations were vaccinated, then "correcting" to 60% of hospitalizations were unvaccinated.
