"The vaccinations that we got will only cover about 3 percent of the population in Willacy County," said Willacy County Emergency Management Coordinator Frank Torres. "That's not very much, but that's 3 percent that we got taken care of and we're working on the other 97 percent." The county went a different route with vaccine registration, issuing vouchers to all local physicians in Willacy County. Local physicians then distributed the vouchers to community members, who completed the forms and brought them to the EMS Office where people were given a time to show up to Raymondville High School on Friday.
