While demand is high for the Coronavirus vaccines, Collin and Dallas counties are saying they don't yet have enough to go around.

Vaccine providers in those two counties are mainly focusing on first responders, front-line medical workers and residents in long-term care facilities because their supplies are too thin to include others like the elderly and those with high-risk health conditions.

Dougherty Pharmacy in Dallas has stopped adding names to its waiting list because it was just getting too long.

Dallas County health is restricting vaccinations to first responders right now because its supplies are too tight to do anything else.

Beginning next week, Parkland Hospital says it will begin vaccinating only current patients identified as high-risk.
