COVID-19 VACCINATION

RIGHT NOW

Chambers County Public Health is currently one of 6 COVID-19 providers in Chambers County.  We are actively vaccinating Phase 1A personnel and are beginning  to vaccinate Phase 1B residents.  We have recently been chosen as a State of Texas COVID-19 Vaccination Hub Provider.

STATE OF TEXAS COVID-19 VACCINATION HUB PROVIDER

What does this mean? Beginning in January, Texas established large vaccination sites or hubs around the state. The goal of these hubs is to provide more people the vaccine and a simpler way to sign up for an appointment. Providers will focus on vaccinating areas and populations hardest hit by COVID-19.

Phase 1A and 1B individuals are eligible to receive a vaccine at these hubs, regardless of where they reside.

• Phase 1A: Front-line healthcare workers and residents at long-term care facilities
• Phase 1B: People over 65 or with a chronic medical condition that puts them at increased risk for severe illness from COVID 19

AUTHORIZED AND RECOMMENDED VACCINES

As COVID-19 vaccines are authorized and then recommended for use in the United States, it will be important to understand what is known about each vaccine. CDC will provide information on who is and is not recommended to receive each vaccine and what to expect after vaccination, as well as ingredients, safety, and effectiveness.

Currently, two vaccines are authorized and recommended to prevent COVID-19 and Chambers County Public Health and Chambers County as a whole as been allocated the Moderna vaccine:

• Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine
• Modern's COVID-19 vaccine
• Janssen COVID-19 vaccine
