More than 2.5 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines are being shipped to Texas vaccine providers this week, and that means more doses for the Red River Valley.
Nearly 3,000 doses of vaccine are on the way to Lamar, Red River and Fannin counties in the 17th week of the stateâs vaccine rollout, according to Texas Department of State Health Services records, and the majority of them are manufactured by Johnson & Johnson. Previously, most local providers received Modernaâs two-shot vaccine while a few received Pfizer-BioNTechâs two-dose vaccine. Only the vaccines made by Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration emergency authorization.
Austin Public Health expands vaccine appointments to 40-plus age group, officials say
Travis County residents who are at least 40 years old can now receive a coronavirus vaccine through Austin Public Health, according to the area s top health officials on Tuesday.
Austin Public Health Director Stephanie Hayden-Howard announced that the agency was expanding its vaccine eligibility this week after the demand for vaccination appointments for those in the Phase 1A, 1B and 1C sub-groups designated by the Texas Department of State Health Services had decreased.
Those three sub-groups include front-line health care workers, residents at long-term care facilities, people 65 and older, people 16 and older with a health condition, school and licensed child care personnel and people 50 to 64 years old.
