HRSA向得克萨斯州的三个少数少数族裔人口增加了1,030万美元，以提高COVID-19的疫苗接种率

A one-year, $10.3 million dollar grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) was awarded to increase COVID-19 vaccinations through the development and mobilization of existing community-based health and outreach workforces in the state by The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (休斯顿乌西卫生).
