Dallas County Requests Federal Help Getting Vaccinations to More North Texans
So far officials with the Texas Department of State Health Services say more than two million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Texas. The call is for businesses and employers to encourage and even help eligible people to sign up for the vaccination.
“We need to change the formula if we want to get out of this pandemic and resume a normal way of life,” said Dallas County Commissioner Elba Garcia.
The hope is everyone signs up for vaccinations, regardless of which group is currently getting the vaccine so that the county gets a better understanding of what the real demand is, since the concern is having supply meet demand.
