The governors of Texas, Georgia and Indiana have announced plans to make open eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine to anyone over 16 within the next week. Georgia Gov Brian Kemp said on Tuesday that starting this Thursday 'all adults in Georgia over the age of 16 will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine'. Indiana Gov Eric Holcomb tweeted that vaccine eligibility will be open to all residents '16 years and older on Wednesday, March 31, provided Indiana receives a large increase in the amount of vaccine as outlined by the federal government'. In Texas, Gov Greg Abbott shared that the state will open COVID-19 vaccine appointments 'to all adults' beginning on Monday. Gov Abbott's decision to vaccinate residents 16 or older makes Texas the most populous state to expand COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to all adults.
