TEXAS – Texas and local elected officials, representing some of the state’s communities hardest hit by the virus, are set to receive the COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday morning.

Mayor Sylvester Turner is also expected to join the elected officials and health experts in a press conference, following the vaccinations.
As thousands of health workers and first responders continue to get the COVID-19 vaccine, there’s a growing desire to understand how the rest of the public may finally get vaccinated.
They will discuss new information regarding vaccine safety, who is currently eligible to receive the two-dose vaccine, and the importance of choosing to get vaccinated.
