Interested in Running a COVID-19 Vaccine
Clinic?
In response to a
growing number of private physician practices receiving direct
supplies of the COVID-19 vaccine, the Texas Medical Association’s
COVID-19 Outpatient Workgroup developed two resources with best practices
for planning and operating a COVID-19 vaccine clinic.
Vaccinations for
Homebound or Disabled
Homebound or disabled
people needing to get vaccinated, can now call 184490Texas (83927)
or visit www.getthevaccine.dshs.texas.gov to
schedule an in-home visit to get vaccinated. Also, any group of 10
or more anywhere in Texas can also use the same phone number
(option 2) or website to schedule a group vaccination event at your
location.
Fully Vaccinated
People No Longer Need to Wear Masks - But There’s a Catch
The CDC still
recommends Americans wear masks in a number of locations including
doctor’s offices, hospitals, nursing homes, and other long-term
care facilities. Americans will still need to follow state and
local guidelines on mask wearing, which may require folks to wear
face coverings at work and in other private businesses. So while it
might be okay and safe to unmask now, staying masked up more often,
such as in crowded areas and especially when you are feeling ill,
will always be a safe decision. Continue reading.
Children 12-15 Can
Receive Their Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine
Currently, only the
Pfizer vaccine has been approved for this age group so far, and
children who do receive the vaccine will need to have consent from
a parent or legal guardian. There are several vaccine clinics in
San Antonio that are offering the Pfizer vaccine to this age group,
which are listed here.
