HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) Getting a city the size of Houston vaccinated is a huge undertaking but large vaccine events are a good start.
For example, over four days Memorial Hermann vaccinated 14,000 people at NRG and would like to hold more events like that, but one of the biggest issues has been supply. They don t necessarily know how many doses they will get or if they ll get a lot of doses. Something that will help with that is being designated as one of the county s vaccine hubs. So this is exciting for us in that we can now turn on these things that we ve piloted. We ve demonstrated what we can do, but now we can make them consistent, ongoing since we have a greater degree of confidence we ll have a steady supply of vaccine coming through, said Dr. James McCarthy, executive vice president and chief physicians executive at Memorial Hermann.
