Feb. 17, 2021 -- Health officials in Texas scrambled to give thousands of COVID-19 vaccines on Monday after harsh winter weather knocked out the power for deep freezers storing the doses.
“We quickly put together a plan to allocate and to salvage them,” Lina Hidalgo, a judge in Harris County, saidHidalgo and colleagues looked for places with a large number of people and enough medical personnel on site to give the vaccines. They doled out more than 5,400 doses to the Harris County Jail, Houston Methodist Hospital, Lyndon B.
In Texas, San Antonio officials shifted vaccine appointments scheduled at the Alamodome from Tuesday to Saturday, and Corpus Christi officials said vaccine shipments were being delayed. The Nevada Health Response also said the state may face delays this week.
