60 residents of luxury Houston high rise are given COVID-19 vaccines — Daily Mail
“Dozens of senior citizens in a luxury high rise in
Texas were given
COVID-19 vaccines in the state's first wave.
The Montebello condominium complex in uptown Houston boasts marble tile bathroom floors, an outdoor pool, valet parking, a concierge service and a 24/7 security guard, and has condos that can sell for up to $4.8 million.
But thousands of at-risk healthcare workers have been struggling to receive their vaccines due to hospitals quickly running out of supply.
However, a spokesperson for the HHD told the Daily Beast he wasn't aware of any arrangement with the high rise.
'All the distributors have to register through the state health department,' Porfirio Villareal said.
'The apartment complex is not an approved provider. If a site is not approved, not on the list, and receiving shipments of the vaccine, then our recommendation is not to go to that site.”
