Trying to find a COVID-19 vaccination in Houston? Houstonians now have a new option for receiving the vaccine with the opening of a drive-thru clinic at NRG Park.
In partnership with Memorial Hermann, the NRG park clinic will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Jan. 14 to Jan. 17.
The drive-thru vaccination clinic is available to pre-registered individuals who have scheduled appointments during the four-day event. No walk-ins will be accepted at the clinic. Approximately 13,000 Texans 65 years or older in the state s Phase 1B category are expected to be vaccinated at the location, according to Memorial Hermann. If you want to schedule an appointment, those who qualify for Phase 1B guidelines can sign up now on Memorial Hermann s website.
The Bell County Public Health District received its first 3,900 doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday, Bell County spokesman James Stafford said in a news release.
Major Texas cities, including Austin, will receive tens of thousands of coronavirus vaccine doses this week, as health providers continue to inoculate vulnerable populations.
Meanwhile, Central Texas continuously high COVID-19 hospitalization rates triggered businesses on Sunday to roll back their occupancy rates from 75% to 50%. Elective surgeries have also been canceled.
“It is critically important that everyone follow protective measures at this time,” said Stephanie Hayden, Austin Public Health Director, in a news release Sunday. “Wearing a mask, washing your hands, watching your distance, and avoiding gatherings have been lifesaving measures throughout this pandemic. We will not be able to vaccinate or enforce our way out of the surge already happening, so we need to take it upon ourselves to protect our community.”
