COVID-19 Vaccines Arriving In Texas, First Deliveries Not Available Locally
Health care workers in Texas began receiving COVID-19 vaccines this week, and the state was slated to receive 224,250 doses of the Pfizer vaccine by the end of the week.
The deliveries began after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of Pfizer's vaccine for individuals 16 and over last week.
The doses were shipped to 109 hospitals in 34 counties, but Hill County was not on the first week's distribution list released by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS).
With the minimum order for the Pfizer vaccine set at 975 doses, the initial distribution was limited to larger hospitals.
