HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) COVID-19 has changed the lives of almost everyone around the world, and many are wondering when the pandemic will end.
The answer to that depends partly on the COVID-19 vaccine distribution. In the U.S., new shipments of doses are sent to states almost weekly, but many local leaders have said demand still far outpaces supply.
In Texas, lack of a statewide distribution plan is making it hard for many people who currently qualify under the state s Phase 1A and 1B criteria to find access to it, according to vaccine data and interviews with residents.
Memorial Hermann in Houston said it has the capacity to vaccinate more people than the amount of doses it s receiving. If more vaccines are approved, that will help big time.
