The state of Texas has added additional hubs across the state, including in North Texas, to its list of COVID-19 vaccine providers for the upcoming week.
The new hub locations added for the upcoming week will be in Burnet, Gregg, Dallas, Navarro and Montgomery counties.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the state will receive another 332,750 first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and will order 216,350 doses intended as second doses.
The new first doses will be shipped to 212 providers across the state, including 82 hub providers. The state health department said second doses are allocated to providers based on the number of first doses they receive, so people should be able to get their second dose from the same provider.
The new hub locations added for the upcoming week will be in Burnet, Gregg, Dallas, Navarro and Montgomery counties.
The five hubs in Dallas County will be at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas County Health and Human Services, Parkland Hospital, UT Southwestern Medical Center and the city of Garland Health Department.
The four hubs in Collin County are Collin County Health Care Services, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano, and the Allen and McKinney fire departments.
