On Thursday, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and U.S. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee gathered at Texas Southern University to celebrate the launch of the school’s new coronavirus vaccine clinic. The vaccination center on TSU’s campus is being managed by St. Luke’s hospital with the hope that it’ll become a local leader for getting vaccines to Houstonians of color.
Thursday’s event came after a hectic Tuesday for the new clinic, which was bombarded with eager Houstonians desperately searching for vaccine shots after Democratic State Sen. Borris Miles incorrectly tweeted out that no appointments were needed for the clinic and that there was no age requirement to get a free dose of Pfizer’s vaccine.
