COVID-19 vaccination efforts are about to significantly ramp up next week in Houston.
The region's first vaccination "super site" will open on Tuesday at NRG Stadium, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced on Twitter Friday afternoon.
The site will vaccinate 42,000 people per week for three weeks, Hidalgo said.
The site is one of three in Texas backed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The two other Texas super sites are located in Dallas-Fort Worth at AT&T Stadium and Fair Park, the Houston Chronicle reported.
The opening of the super site means Houstonians who signed up via the city or county's vaccine waitlist should keep an eye out for updates on when they may be able to schedule an appointment. Residents who have yet to sign up for either waitlist are encouraged to do so.
