HOUSTON, Texas A familiar luxury Houston high-rise is receiving international attention of late, but not for its amenities or the upscale lifestyle it offers. Instead, the Montebello in Uptown is making headlines for its residents receiving COVID-19 vaccines - while others wait.
The Daily Beast first reported the story, asking Why Did This Swanky High-Rise in Houston Get Vaccines Ahead of Most People? According to the story, some 60 Montebello residents directly received COVID-19 vaccinations at a time when at-risk Houstonians are desperately searching for injections. Since the Beast s story published, news outlets around the country - and even across the pond - have jumped on the bandwagon.
While people wait to get the COVID-19 vaccine, a luxury high rise in Houston is facing questions about how some of its tenants were given access to the shots.
