As of Wednesday morning, over 70,000 doses had been distributed across the state of Texas but none have been counted as administered. This number is expected to rise as hospitals are the first tier in the Texas vaccination process. Data will be collected from officials each day by midnight and the map should reflect updates daily by 4 p.m.

The first week’s distribution has gone majority to large counties such as Bexar, Travis, Harris and Dallas and other counties which have experienced a large number of cases and fatalities including Hidalgo and Nueces counties.

The data collected is broken down by age, gender and dosage. Along with the tracking technology, DSHS has also laid out important information for the public on how, when and who will receive the vaccine as more doses arrive.
