Currently, Ellis County has 37 providers that have enrolled to obtain vaccines. Out of the 37, 17 have been approved by DSHS to receive vaccinations. The other remaining 20 are still in progress. Ellis County providers have received limited shipments of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccinations instead of the Pfizer version, due to logistics of the required ultra-cold storage. As of Jan. 4, DSHS has allotted 1,600 doses to Ellis County to the entities shown in the graphic. Ellis County entities can become distributors of the COVID-19 vaccination and enroll with DSHS to become a vaccine provider. Once approved by DSHS, the provider will be allotted a limited amount of vaccinations to be distributed to those that fall within the categories who are eligible to receive vaccinations.
