Texas has reached a new milestone in the effort to vaccinate people against COVID-19: As Monday, more than 50 percent of Texans eligible for the shot those age 12 and older have been fully vaccinated.
The current vaccine rate of 50.1 percent, reported by the state on Tuesday, is a far cry from the original goal set by President Joe Biden’s administration 70 percent of eligible Americans fully vaccinated by the holiday weekend. In recent months, immunization rates have slowed considerably, forcing local officials to rely on incentives to bring people in for shots.

Local officials pushing for San Antonio residents to get vaccinated as the city returns to normal
San Antonio – There were a lot more chickens on sticks than people getting stuck with vaccines at Fiesta this year, as highly publicized vaccination efforts during the city’s biggest party fell flat.
San Antonio Metropolitan Health District officials say 155 vaccines were administered during 21 pop-up vaccination clinics held at various Fiesta events, an average of 7.38 people per clinic held. The lackluster turnout came as the city is trying to reinvigorate vaccination efforts.
