DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – Beginning Monday, all Texans ages 16 and older will be eligible to receive a vaccine. Additionally, Texas is scheduled to receive over 1 million doses of the coronavirus vaccine for the coming week.
The state has already administered more than 10 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. That’s an increase of 1.2 million, just in the last week.
In a recent press release, the Texas Department of State Health Services announced it is allocating 818,410 doses to 779 providers in 202 counties, with more than 200,000 additional first doses expected to be available to pharmacy locations and federally-qualified health centers directly from the federal government.
According to DHS, vaccination has helped drive down the number of new cases and people hospitalized with COVID-19 to their lowest level since October 2020. As a reminder, you should be able to visit the same provider to receive your second dose, within six weeks of getting the first.]
