It seem that it is not an isolated event.

We can’t get vaccinated in San Antonio while non citizens are taking our supply.

Probably non-citizens with a lot more wealth and influence than you.

Didn't say it was fair just the reality. The wealthy and powerful have connections and are going to pull strings regardless of their nationality.

I can understand their reservation. My hope is the vaccine is safe and that people take it so that suffering and loss of life is prevented. The greatest good for the most people.

Seems like you are right: https://www.ksat.com/news/texas/2021...ine-heres-why/

These people must have no shame and I wouldn't be surprised if we have many doing it here locally.

When a new mom in Austin found out that COVID-19 vaccine appointments were open in Killeen, she sent her healthy, 28-year-old husband and her 65-year-old mother to get their injections.

Both were vaccinated, despite only one of them being eligible under the priority groups outlined by Texas state health officials.

“I mostly sent them to get vaccines to protect me and for our newborn baby’s sake since [my husband] tends to see more friends,” said the 37-year-old woman, who requested anonymity for fear of public retribution.

Appears that vaccinating San Antonio citizens is a lower priority than processing illegals at the border.

My understanding is Abbott hasn't given them a choice.
