EL PASO, Texas – Dosages of the Covid-19 vaccine began arriving in El Paso three weeks ago, marking a significant milestone in the battle against the virus.

For the time being, the limited offer is reserved for frontline health professionals and certain high-risk populations: those over 65 or people of most ages with critical health conditions.
