With demand for COVID-19 vaccines slowing, health officials have begun a more targeted approach.
Some North Texas counties and the health care company Curative are hosting pop-up vaccine clinics.
David Grove with Curative said they re reaching out to specific groups, like Hispanic communities, where vaccination rates are lagging. There s people that are wondering, ‘why are people still administering vaccine? Nobody wants it anymore,’” he said. “What they aren t seeing is there are those pocket communities that maybe aren t getting as much publicity that certainly are in need of it, and are still coming to get it.
In Texas: More than 2.9 million cases and more than 52,200 deaths have been reported.
Cases In North Texas: Tarrant County: 263,335; Dallas County: 262,710; Denton County: 76,975; Collin County: 75,928. There have been at least 9,148 reported deaths in the region s four largest counties.
