East Texas hospitals, clinics, health districts, pharmacies to get COVID-19 vaccines in Week 2 By Gary Bass | December 19, 2020 at 1:46 PM CST - Updated December 19 at 2:08 PM TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - The Texas Department of State Health Services has asked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ship more than 600,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to more than 1,100 providers in 185 Texas counties over the next week. As part of the next round of vaccine shipments, the CDC will deliver 469,500 doses of the Moderna vaccine and 159,900 doses of the Pfizer vaccine to continue with efforts to vaccinate frontline health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities.

Hospitals hope vaccine reaches Lufkin this week

Both Lufkin hospitals hope to receive the initial doses of either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine in the coming week. The Pfizer vaccine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration on Dec. 11 and requires two doses, both of which are to be kept at ultra-low temperatures. The Moderna vaccine is still awaiting FDA approval, but would not require the same freezing temperatures. “The state has told us we can expect to receive our initial allotment soon, possibly within the next week,” Woodland Heights Medical Center president Drew Emery said. “We are told it is the Moderna vaccine.” St. Luke’s Health-Memorial remains hopeful to receive 100 doses of a vaccine from either Pfizer or Moderna in the coming week, market president Monte Bostwick said. However, until he sees the vaccine, he isn’t certain of whether that is true, he said.
