Medical staff at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center of El Paso to get second covid vaccine
EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Doctors and nurses at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center of El Paso are beginning to receive their second doses of the Pfizer vaccine this week.
El Paso remains one of the top Texas counties when it comes to vaccinating a high number of health care workers.
Dr. Ed Michelson said the faster the state distributes doses to El Paso facilities, the faster hospitals and clinics can vaccinate the public.
He explained the state is expected to organize another approximately 13,000 doses to be distributed in the coming week or two.
The doctor also warned about worsening COVID-19 trends, saying the data being reported this week is likely from Christmas- adding that numbers could get worse as New Year holiday spread begins to be reported.
