Texas creates new COVID-19 vaccine âhubsâ, some rural communities feel ignored
HOUSTON - On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a new state strategy for distributing COVID-19 vaccines. According to the Governor, less providers will receive the shot compared to before. However, many of the recipients who do receive the shot will get more doses.
The plan will focus on new vaccine hubs that are intended to help distribute the vaccine faster. Each of these facilities will provide thousands of vaccines every single day, said Governor Abbott. Making the process far quicker and far more efficient.
The Texas Department of State Health Services said Sunday that the hub providers will get more than 158,000 doses of the vaccine this week. According to the provided list, 26,725 of those doses were sent to 3 new hubs in Harris County.
