Itâs been nearly a month since vaccines were first distributed in Bell County. While Bell County Public Health District officials say their staff have yet to receive any shipments, healthcare workers at local hospitals are making some headway.
âWeâve been primarily focusing all of our vaccine efforts to our staff. It has been going very well. We are a little more than halfway through,â said AdventHealth Central Texas PR & Marketing Manager Erin Riley.
Riley says theyâve mainly distributed the Moderna vaccine at their hospital. With hospitalizations and cases on the rise at their facility, just like everywhere else in Bell County, she says the vaccine will help slow the spread.
