The governor’s vaccination comes after thousands of doses have been delivered at hospitals throughout the state of Texas for the past two weeks.
So far, the FDA has cleared two vaccines — Pfizer’s and Moderna’s.
Both have been delivered to hospitals throughout the country to be administered to frontline health care workers and priority populations. This week, San Antonio is set to receive thousands of doses of both vaccines.
Abbott previously said he projects a million Texans will be vaccinated by the end of the year.
