Gov. Greg Abbott announced Tuesday that the state now has 24 counties participating in the Save Our Seniors COVID-19 vaccine program.
The program â which includes Milam County â provides drive-through clinics or goes directly to home bound seniors around the state. So far the state has vaccinated more than 62,000 people through the program.
The program is a combined effort between the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Texas Department of State Health Services and the Texas Military Department.
âSince the launch of the Save Our Seniors initiative, our partners at TDEM and TMD have worked diligently to vaccinate seniors across our state, and I thank them for their exceptional leadership and hard work on behalf of Texans,â Abbott said in a statement. âVaccines are the most effective tool in our arsenal against COVID-19, and we will continue to invest in this program to ensure that every Texan who wants a vaccine receives one.â
