2021 Vaccination efforts
Large scale vaccination sites, referred to as "vaccination hubs", were established throughout the State beginning in January 2021, and by February 2021 more than six hundred providers, including public health departments, vaccination hubs and retail pharmacies, had been provided with first doses of the vaccines, reaching an estimated allotment rate of approximately 400,000 doses per week. On January 14, 2021 Texas became the first state to administer one million doses of the Covid-19 vaccination and by the first week of February 2021 approximately 3 million doses had been administered. The vaccine rollout was challenged by the large population of Texas (29 million), uncertainties surrounding record keeping, prioritization of the order in which groups were deemed eligible to receive the vaccine, and the availability of second doses for those who had already received the first dose. As of January 18, 2021, vaccination providers who had received first dose allotments were not automatically being shipped equal quantities of second dose allotments. Instead, the providers were required to request allocations of the second dose through the state government allocation system.
