“In Laredo, a bus brigade is vaccinating Mexican citizens with COVID-19 shots that Texans aren’t using” was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
