Texas Vaccine Tracker was designed to use publicly available data from Texas DSHS & CDC to answer common questions about vaccination providers, vaccination pace, and vaccination equity related to the state’s rollout, which started in December. The data was utilized by local policymakers and the general public through daily data updates, print, radio, and broadcast news features.
