EL PASO — Hospitals in some of Texas' hardest-hit border counties began vaccinating health care workers against COVID-19 on Tuesday, bringing what one health authority called "cautious hope" to a heavily Hispanic, economically distressed region whose communities have been traumatized by infections and deaths at disproportionately high rates throughout the pandemic.
Some 15,600 doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine arrived Tuesday at hospitals in El Paso and Edinburg, and more will land in Laredo, McAllen, Brownsville and El Paso later this week.
At UT Health RGV in Edinburg, in the Rio Grande Valley, the first doses were administered Tuesday afternoon, and a vaccination center in the medical school's lobby will usher through 400 to 500 people per day for the next several days, said Dr. John H. Krouse, dean of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine.
In El Paso, vaccinations began within hours of the doses' arrival.
For a population that is especially susceptible to COVID-19, the beginning of the end could not come soon enough.
"People who have seen so much tragedy are going to be protected, and it's the beginning, for the rest of our community, to have the protection that they need," said Ryan Mielke, director of public affairs for the University Medical Center of El Paso, which received 2,925 doses Tuesday.
Among the first recipients in the Rio Grande Valley on Tuesday was Dr. Chelsea Chang, an internal medicine physician at UT Health RGV, who called the vaccine "a blessing."
"I was so thrilled to be able to receive the vaccine and be a part of this movement that is, hopefully, going to be the beginning of the end of the pandemic," Chang said. "It's been a challenge that none of us has ever seen before, both in the medical field and in our personal life."
