TEXAS, USA — The Department of State Health Services said more than one million first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine will be shipped to Texas providers this week. In Central Texas, that increase will be seen at H-E-B pharmacies more than anywhere else.
According to the latest vaccine distribution list, three H-E-Bs in Bell County will get a total of 900 doses. Five H-E-Bs in Waco will get a total of 1500. A Waco Walgreens will get 1170 doses, as is Baylor University Student Health Services. A delivery of 300 doses are headed to a Gatesville HEB.
To check availability, you can go the H-E-B pharmacies website or the Walgreens pharmacies website.
DSHS also announced their new Texas Public Health Vaccine Scheduler (TPHVS) on Monday. This system will allow the public to sign up for possible vaccine events in their area organized by DSHS. The agency said they would chose the location of vaccination events based on the need and number of people who signed up in a given area of the state.

The state’s Expert Vaccine Allocation Panel recommended opening vaccination to everyone who falls under the current Food and Drug Administration emergency use authorizations.
All vaccines are authorized for people age 18 and older. The Pfizer vaccine is authorized for people 16 and older.
