LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) - Angelina County and Cities Health District (ACCHD) has shared plans to move its COVID-19 vaccine signup to a more user-friendly platform.
The health department announced on Feb. 7 it had opened a phone line to help residents sign up for COVID-19 vaccines after state agencies designated Angelina County as a vaccine hub. However, some users reported on the health department’s Facebook page that it took multiple tries to get through to an operator if they got through at all.
The Texas Department of State Health Services has earmarked another allotment of 5,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses for Deep East Texas for the week of February 8. This will be the 9th week of allotments sent to counties throughout the state.
