HOUSTON – The Harris Health System has found itself in a predicament as they expect to run out of their COVID-19 vaccine supply Friday. But, industry experts say the shortage will affect much more than Harris Health patients. Harris Health serves the uninsured and underinsured from low-income communities. For now, the final doses run out today with Harris Health unsure of when the next batch will arrive. Harris Health had been running seven vaccination sites but only ran one Friday.
