San Antonio, the surrounding areas, are receiving thousands of vaccines against COVID-19 this week. This is where they go.

In the third week of COVID-19 vaccine allocations, 23,975 doses of the Modern and Pfizer vaccine will be sent to hospitals in Bexar County, according to the state health department.

Bexar County hospitals intended to receive shipments include University Health System, Christus Children’s Hospital of San Antonio and Christus Santa Rosa Medical Center, Methodist hospitals, and the UT Health San Antonio Clinic, Wellness 360. Vaccines will be reserved for priority populations.

Other nearby counties receiving vaccine doses include Dimmit, Gonzales, Kerr, Medina and Wilson.

Health officials said vaccine allocations are likely to increase as supply expands with increased manufacturing and more vaccine approval by the FDA.

Due to the currently limited supply of vaccine, the vaccine is currently only given to front-line health workers, long-term caregivers and residents, people over the age of 65, and people who are at least 16 years old and have at least one underlying doctor. condition.

State health officials believe the vaccine will be offered to the general public beginning in the spring of 2021.
