As of January 4, 2021, individuals who meet the Phase 1B criteria listed below are now eligible to get vaccinated throughout the State of Texas. However, the number of vaccine doses available is dependent upon the vaccine provider allotment after they have vaccinated all Phase 1A individuals and if they are a private or public vaccine provider. Phase 1B will provide vaccines to higher-risk people regardless of their work sector or status, with the goal of providing protection for a number of critical populations at an increased risk of getting COVID-19.
