When can people who qualify for group 1B expect to get the vaccine?
According to DSHS, there are eight million people in Texas who are eligible for group 1B, though some of them are also eligible to be vaccinated as part of group 1A as health care workers or long-term care residents. Bill McKeon, the CEO and President of the Texas Medical Center, says it all depends on how much vaccine they receive. Right now, local health leaders are waiting to see if they get any more guidance from the state but as soon as enough vaccine is available, they anticipate 1B vaccinations will begin.
