EL PASO, Texas -- The El Paso Department of Public Health announced Thursday it had received 5,000 additional Covid-19 vaccines after exhausting its previous 5,000 doses at a mega-site distribution earlier this week.
Word of the receipt of the added vaccines came as County Judge Ricardo Samaniego and Mayor Oscar Leeser held a news conference on the success of El Paso's vaccination efforts so far.
The health department said those who have pre-registered with it for vaccination should be on the lookout for a phone call or email if they are selected to be vaccinated in this next round.
