What’s Next with the COVID‑19 Vaccine in Texas

Vaccine timeline. We are currently in Phase one: direct care worker and long-term care residents.

“All providers that have received COVID-19 vaccine must immediately vaccinate healthcare workers, Texans over the age of 65, and people with medical conditions that put them at a greater risk of severe disease or death from COVID-19. No vaccine should be kept in reserve.”

– DSHS Commissioner John Hellerstedt, M.D.
