Texas will get 620,000 doses of the vaccine statewide ahead of Christmas, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The CDC will send shipments to more than 1,100 providers in 185 Texas counties over the next three days. The majority of that — 460,500 doses — will be the new Moderna vaccine, which the FDA approved for emergency-use distribution late last week.

“Adding the Moderna vaccine will dramatically increase the amount of vaccine that can go to rural areas and smaller providers because it ships in smaller quantities and can be stored longer at regular refrigerator temperatures,” DSHS Commissioner Dr. John Hellerstedt said in a statement.

Pfizer will also send out another 159,900 vials. Both have proven approximately 95% effective against the vaccine.

“Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are safe and effective – both can confer protection against COVID-19, regardless of which vaccine you receive,” Hellerstedt added.
