From a Jefferson County news release...
The SETX Vaccine Committee has developed a distribution plan to vaccinate the most vulnerable population (currently vaccinations are for Phase 1A and 1B eligible populations) while efficiently using the state and local resources. Each county or Public Health Department has submitted the number of vaccinations they can administer each day by appointment only. The plan was submitted today.
Jefferson County Judge Jeff Branick, along with other elected officials, will hold a press conference on Monday, January 25th at 11:00 am to give the current status of the plan, the daily/weekly dissemination of information through the Southeast Texas Regional Emergency Operations Center and where we currently stand on vaccines.
