Vaccines arrive in North Texas

by | Dec 24, 2020 | Latest

Ten months into a pandemic that has claimed over 300,000 lives in the U.S., some Texans will be among the first to re­ceive the COVID-19 vaccine.

The first shipments of the vac­cine developed by Pfizer were delivered last week. In Texas, ac­cording to the Texas COVID-19 Vaccination Plan (TCVP), the Department of State Health Ser­vices will serve as the state’s lead agency in vaccine distribution.

Moderna vaccine distribution began Monday, Dec. 21. The first shipments went to 20 Texas cities, each receiving 500 dos­es. Texas will receive a total of 460,500 Moderna vaccine doses before Christmas.
