People usually get it at specific intervals as children. It's easy to plan ahead when you have everyone scheduled weeks in advance on a routine schedule. Not so much when you have everyone descending on clinics at the last minute.
The problem I think you're forgetting is that vaccines have a very limited shelf life. They can't just keep tons in stock. In a sense they're made to order, so everybody trying to get one all of a sudden is causing strain on a system that was never meant to deal with on-demand vaccination.
So basically people getting their kids to get it early becase stupid people caused an outbreak thank you that makes sense
Probably not early. Probably late. Some states have vaccine requirements for public schools, I don't know if Texas does.
