Texas vaccinations had resumed by the weekend in many counties after the state's power crisis brought shipping delays, canceled appointments and destroyed more than 900 doses of the vaccine across the Lone Star State.  State health officials remained optimistic Monday that COVID-19 vaccine distribution would get back on track by the end of the week.  More than 100,000 first doses and 300,000 second doses have yet to be shipped because of weather conditions, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Greg Abbott to provide update on Texas COVID-19 vaccine rollout

Gov. Greg Abbott again vowed Thursday he will not order new business closures as single-day coronavirus cases reached a record high and hospitalizations continued to rise statewide, instead touting improved treatments and the arrival of the coronavirus vaccine in Texas. "There's been no governmental leader anywhere that has been able to figure out how COVID works," he said. "The fact of the matter is that it's time to put behind us shutdowns. No more shutdowns. We need to focus on opening up businesses." His remarks came as the daily new COVID-19 case count in Texas exceeded 16,000 for the first time. Single-day coronavirus cases surpassed 15,000 twice in December, the previous highs.
