Galveston County has asked the state to not send any more vaccines for next week due to a high supply and low demand.
Dr. Philip Keiser with the Galveston County Health District said by pausing the shipment of Covid vaccines, county officials can get a better sense of how many vaccines they need in the future.
Kesier said the number of residents making appointments for the county's drive-thru clinic is on the decline.
"We have the ability to give up to 4,500 new vaccines a day at our drive-thru center at Walter Hall Park," said Keiser. "Last week when we looked at our appointments, we had 300 one day, 400 another day."
For this reason, Galveston County has decided to phase out its drive-thru clinic, making May 1 its last day of operation.
