KUT UT Austin nursing student Paige Holloway gets the COVID-19 vaccine at Dell Medical School on Dec. 15. As part of the strategy to immunize people as quickly and efficiently as possible in Texas, H-E-B, CVS, Kroger and Walgreens make up a significant chunk of companies administering the COVID-19 vaccine. The problem with the state's plan is pretty obvious for officials in low-income communities of color: These communities don’t tend to attract a lot of big chain stores. Manor Mayor Larry Wallace said his suburban community in the eastern part of Travis County is going to have a harder time getting access to the vaccine.
