HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) As COVID-19 vaccines continue to roll into Texas, there are growing concerns that access to the coveted shots are often dependent on how digitally connected people are. The better connect, the better chances of getting a vaccine.
On Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott highlighted the positive aspects of the vaccine rollout so far in a roundtable discussion at Houston Methodist Hospital. He pointed to the fact that more than 1.3 million doses have so far been given to Texans, and the state is set to distribute this week its largest shipment to date.
During a roundtable discussion in the Texas Medical Center, Governor Abbott met with Houston healthcare professionals to discuss the COVID-19 response, vaccination efforts and lessons learned from the pandemic.
