Angelina County shares plan to move vaccine sign-up online COVID-19 vaccine doses are prepared at the fourth shot clinic held by Brookshire Brothers in Angelina County By T Ebonie Tanner and Jeff Wright | February 10, 2021 at 10:29 AM CST - Updated February 10 at 10:38 AM
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.
Mike Wernicke, a 73-year-old Austin-area resident, told the American-Statesman on Monday that he was concerned how and when Austin Public Health would reach out to schedule his second dose due Friday. There is so much uncertainty out there, Wernicke said. Obviously, we are eager to get that second dose.
While the delay might backlog the distribution of second doses, Austin Public Health officials on Monday assured residents the doses will still be just as effective if delayed days or even a week. We re not clear what that week is going to look like, but we re anxious to have that discussion with the state, Escott said previously about distributing second doses this week.
Family Health Systems will give out 8,000 vaccine doses this week and the Williamson County Health District will give 1,000 doses to agencies to help uninsured, indigent.
