General Information About Vaccination Clinics
Who is Eligible for Vaccination?
• Tier 1A and 1B are currently eligible for the vaccines
• Tier 1A includes all front line and essential workers who have a higher risk of exposure to COVID
• Tier 1B includes anyone who is 65+ or anyone who has a disability or chronic illness that would cause them to have a more serious illness if they became infected with COVID
How to Register for a Vaccination Clinic
• Armbands are distributed for 1st dose vaccines. We will announce armband distribution events the morning of the event. Announcements are posted on the DHR Health Facebook page and local morning news programs
• We also work with local agencies to assist in distributing armbands. For example, local pharmacies and public safety agencies that have regular contact with people in Tier 1B
• Tier 1B individuals can also call the DHR Health COVID call center (956) 36-COVID to pre-register. The call center will contact each person on the list as the vaccine becomes available
New Updates About the Current Week's Vaccine Clinics
