There are far more Texans eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine than doses available. Here’s what you need to know about getting one.

Doses of the COVID-19 vaccine began arriving in Texas in mid-December, marking a significant milestone in the battle against the virus. But it will be months before vaccine doses are widely available, and the rollout is leaving eligible Texans with more questions than answers.

For now, the limited supply is prioritized for front-line health care workers and certain high-risk populations.

State health officials announced just before Christmas that older people and those with qualifying health conditions are also eligible.
