It continued to administer more than 20,000 shots of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine per week, with the only wait time in the end when individuals had to wait 15 minutes after receiving the shot to ensure they didn t have an allergic reaction.

Whitley wants to see efforts in North Texas extend beyond the four largest counties. He estimated as much as 8% of the around 200,000 vaccinations Tarrant County has distributed have been to non-county residents and 31% of the registrants on the wait list are from outside Tarrant County.
“We re going to want to figure out ways to set up sites in those surrounding counties,” Whitley said. “The thing that we re constantly trying to do is to prepare for what I hope is a tsunami of vaccines that will be coming in the next three to five weeks.”
Counties receive little notice of how many vaccines they will receive on a weekly basis, Whitley explained. Eads said all four judges are hoping to get two to three weeks of notice on the number of vaccines they will receive to allow for more staffing and better planning.
