Some rural hospitals in Texas have yet to receive a single COVID-19 vaccine dose, hospital group says

As Texas shifts its focus to large community vaccination efforts, some frontline health care workers remain unprotected. About 10% of the rural hospitals in Texas have yet to receive a single Covid-19 vaccine dose, according to a group representing rural hospitals in the state. Of the 16 hospitals which have not been allocated a vaccine shipment, 15 have sought doses from neighboring providers or pharmacies to get their staff vaccinated, Don McBeath, director of government relations for the Texas Organization of Rural & Community Hospitals (TORCH) told CNN.
