Jan. 26—The demand for the coronavirus vaccine has been so high someone from Mexico tried to get one in Tarrant County.
A person from Mexico called the Tarrant County Public Health Department asking if he could fly over to receive the vaccine, said Vinny Taneja, the county's public health director on Tuesday. The person was told not to book a flight and instead to find a vaccination site in his country.
"There's interest in Tarrant County from all over the place," Taneja said.
