Gov. Greg Abbott and his top health advisers swung by Houston on Tuesday to meet with Houston Methodist CEO and president Dr. Mark Boom to talk about the statewide COVID-19 vaccine rollout, and to praise Houston Methodist for being the top vaccinator in all of Texas.
Abbott said that Harris County as a whole “has administered far more vaccines than any other county in Texas.” He cited Department of State Health Service statistics which show that as of Monday, 259,848 vaccine shots had been doled out in Texas’s most populous county, “almost double the amount” of vaccines given out by number two-ranking Dallas County so far.
