AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- Texas will receive 332,750 first doses of COVID-19 vaccines next week, state officials announced Saturday - the seventh week of the vaccine distribution effort.
The Texas Department of State Health Services says the doses will be distributed to 212 providers across the state, including 82 large hub providers and 130 additional providers.
The state will also order 216,350 second doses for those first vaccinated a few weeks ago. Those second doses will automatically be allocated to the providers who administered the first dose, so Texans can return to the same provider to receive their second dose.
So far, more than 1.6 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines have been administered across the state, and more than 228,000 have been fully vaccinated against the virus.
Across the Austin metro, the following providers are receiving doses:
-A+ Lifestyle Medical Group (Bastrop County): 1,000 Moderna doses
-Hays County Health Department: 1,950 Pfizer doses
-Austin Public Health: 12,000 Moderna doses
-UT Health Austin/Dell Medical School: 1,950 Pfizer doses
-Family ER (Williamson County): 8,000 Moderna doses
