HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Mayor Sylvester Turner gave an update on the supply of the COVID-19 vaccine Saturday afternoon at the Bayou City Event Center as the demand for the vaccine remains high.
Hundreds of people were sent home disappointed after the Houston Health Department announced it ran out of COVID-19 vaccine doses at the public mega site at Minute Maid Park last Saturday. Despite the glitch in the system that caused them to overbook, health officials still administered 5,451 doses of the vaccine that day.
"It's a large operation. There might be glitches every now and then, but I assure you vaccinations are not sitting on shelves," said Turner.
