Dean of the UTRGV School of Medicine and Executive Vice President for Health Affairs Dr. John H. Krouse said that within a week 56,000 registrations were received for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Those who completed the online COVID-19 vaccine registration form online are now being asked to wait.
Krouse said so far about 9,000 people in Tier 1A and 1B have been vaccinated but the demand is nowhere near the number of vaccines currently available. We, as all providers, are primarily constrained by the number of vaccines we re receiving, Krouse said. We ve built the infrastructure, we ve built the ability to give the shots but we re still dependent on receiving those shots.
