SAN ANTONIO - University Health is vaccinating 4,000 people a day at the Wonderland of the Americas mall, but that might be the most it can administer even if it gets more vaccines.

In this week’s San Antonio’s Voice, Dr. Bryan Alsip, Chief Medical Officer at University Health, explains why to our Randy Beamer. In early January, University Health became the first medical provider in San Antonio to begin a mass vaccine clinic. Since then, it has expanded to the second floor at the mall and is now administering first and second doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Alsip and Randy delve into the latest pandemic trends in San Antonio and how a couple of big events might impact us relatively soon. Alsip also shares what the vaccine arrivals have done for hospital staffing. Plus, he gives his expert opinion on the Janssen Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine that may soon get FDA approval.

Dr. Bryan Alsip is the Chief Medical Officer for University Health. Previously, he served as the Assistant Director of Health for the City of San Antonio. Dr. Alsip is a primary care physician with Board Certification in Preventive Medicine and Public Health who also served on active duty in the United States Army. He holds faculty appointments at the UT Health San Antonio School of Medicine and the University of Texas School of Public Health.
