AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF) – Texas Governor Greg Abbott will hold a roundtable discussion and deliver remarks alongside healthcare professionals on Tuesday, at Houston Methodist Hospital.
During the roundtable, the Governor is expected to discuss his legislative priorities for ensuring a healthier future for the state of Texas. Following the roundtable, Governor Abbott will hold a brief press conference and provide an update on COVID-19 vaccination efforts.
The Governor will be joined by Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd, Texas Department of State Health Services Commissioner John Hellerstedt, MD, Executive Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs of the University of Texas System John Zerwas, MD, and Houston Methodist President and CEO Marc Boom, MD.
The briefing comes as Texas leads the country in the number of residents vaccinated. But many suburban and rural counties are left without vaccine doses as the state and country experiences more demand than supply.
