Collin County Health Care Services began offering the vaccine to any person in Collin County on Dec. 31 meeting the DSHS definition for Phase 1A or 1B. By the end of the day, approximately 525 of the 1,000 doses had been administered.

At the time of this writing, there are over 700 persons on the vaccine waitlist.

Officials have not been provided a time timetable for future doses but will resume vaccination as soon as additional doses are received.
