San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff have sent a letter to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) asking for a mass vaccination site to be set up in San Antonio.
The mayor and judge in the letter told the federal government that Bexar County has the capacity for the site and the county is ready to increase vaccination distribution.
The local leaders said one our current vaccination sites, the Alamodome, has not received first new dose allocations in nearly three weeks. They said without many more vaccines, the site may have to close.
