4 Montgomery County health care providers among first in Texas to receive COVID-19 vaccines

Local vaccinations begin One regional health care system with initial allocations of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, Texas Children's Hospital, began vaccinations for its employees Dec. 15. The hospital's The Woodlands and Energy Corridor campuses each received 975 doses each this week, while its main Houston campus received 3,900 doses. Among the first at the hospital to be vaccinated were Mark A. Wallace, the system's president and chief executive, and Dr. Peter Hotez, co-director of the Texas Children’s Center for Vaccine Development. "Based on federal, state and leading academic guidance regarding vaccine allocation, we established a framework for the equitable allocation of COVID-19 vaccines that guides us in our distribution process," Wallace said in a statement.

We also know we must couple being vaccinated with the practices we’ve adopted throughout this pandemic—hand washing, social distancing and properly wearing a mask, to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the community."
