The Texas Department of State Health Services shipped over 2.5 million doses to Texas providers for the week of April 5, according to an April 2 news release from the department. According to the release, that includes 1,094,920 first doses of the vaccine that were allocated to 2,011 providers across the state—the largest number of doses and providers to date.

Montgomery County was allocated 34,460 doses of the vaccine for the week of April 5, including 15,120 first doses and 19,340 second doses.

The bulk of the county's weekly vaccine allocation will go to one of the county's vaccination hub providers, the Lone Star Family Health Center, and to private provider Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital. A total of 7,350 doses were reserved for those two locations, according to Texas Department of State Health Services data.
