Wolff said the Bexar County Hospital District has administered 5,000 vaccines at its downtown Robert B. Green campus. People will get their second dose at that place this week.
Nirenberg says some people have been turned down on the Alamodome site because they were not yet eligible. He reminds the public that only those in Stage 1A and Stage 1B are currently eligible for the vaccine.
