AUSTIN, TX Despite having received two shipments of Moderna vaccines to fight the coronavirus across Travis County, the allotments are insufficient to provide for those with greatest need regionally, the director of Austin Public Health said Tuesday. There is not enough vaccine from the state and federal government to provide to our community, Austin Public Health (APH) Director Stephanie Hayden said in a prepared statement. APH is rapidly distributing vaccine to individuals who meet the state s definition of Phase 1A, however, the small allocation does not allow us to offer vaccine to Phase 1B individuals at this time, Hayden added. APH is hopeful and advocating for larger volumes of vaccine in the future so that we can serve more people who don t have access to health care.
