Burnet County receiving doses after second COVID-19 vaccine approved The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency use authorization for a second COVID-19 vaccine, which means more doses are headed to Texas this week, including about 1,100 to Burnet County, for frontline healthcare providers and long-term care facility residents and staff.
Another wave of COVID-19 vaccines is headed to Texas, this time including Burnet County, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Dec. 18 authorized Moderna’s vaccine for emergency use. The approval comes about a week after the FDA did the same for the Pfizer vaccine.
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sending 620,400 doses of both vaccines to the state in a second week of distribution: 460,500 doses of the Moderna vaccine and 159,900 of the Pfizer version.
