According to our news partner KETK, starting this week, 40,900 COVID-19 vaccines will come to East Texas. Just last week, Texas only got 18,000 doses. Now, with the addition of the one-dose Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine, that number has more than doubled. Though supplies are increasing, only those in 1A and 1B tiers are eligible. Because of a new federal directive, education and child care personnel are now eligible for the vaccine as well. <!--more-->The Department of State Health Services recommends that people do not show up at a provider looking for a vaccine. Instead, search their website and call if the website doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t answer your questions. If you know someone who is eligible for the vaccine but lacks internet access, they can call 2-1-1 for referral to a local vaccine provider.<\/p>\n<p>SMITH COUNTY:<\/p>\n<p>NET Health \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 3,510 Moderna doses<br \/>\nCHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital Tyler \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 300 Johnson &amp; Johnson doses<br \/>\nDSHS PHR 4\/5 HQ Tyler \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 2,340 Pfizer doses<br \/>\nQLTC Pharmacy Solutions Tyler \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 100 Moderna doses<br \/>\nTyler Care Clinic \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 100 Moderna doses<br \/>\nTyler Family Circle of Care \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 100 Moderna doses<\/p>\n<p>GREGG COUNTY:<\/p>\n<p>CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Medical Center Longview \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 3,510 Pfizer doses<br \/>\nDiagnostic Clinic of Longview \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 100 Johnson &amp; Johnson doses<br \/>\nLouis Morgan Drugs Longview \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 100 Johnson &amp; Johnson doses<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EAST TEXAS &#8212; Vaccines continue to roll out across the state of Texas with a new addition this week.
