Vaccine notes
*TRMC will not be one of the initial recipients
*Wadley, Christus, Hunt, and UT Health Tyler will receive a few
*Texas will get 1.4 million Pfizer doses by the end of the month
*Fed has been very complimentary of the Texas plan for distribution
*Moderna drug will begin distribution after the Pfizer hopefully by month-end.
*Hospital workers and long term care residents will be first recipients. It will still be several months before the vaccine is readily available to all.
*We are hopeful that TRMC will be added to the distribution list quickly so that we can begin to get our hospital staff vaccinated soon, along with our nursing home workers and residents.
