Covid Vaccinations Available

Posted by Mayor Lou Wortham on 1/6/2021, 10:21 am

to those over 65 from Galveston County Health District.

Here's a link to the GCHD news release from their website:

https://www.gchd.org/Home/Components/News/News/4019/65

Apparently, you have to call 409.547.4015 to make an appointment. They urge patience.

Good Luck and stay safe,

Lou

After frustration with GCHD saying shots are available on 1/7/21 and then calling to hear them say they are not giving shots this period, My sisteer suggested calling the BCHD (Brazoria County Health District) I got thru after 15 busy signals and they scheduled me the next day.
Also, UTMB is offering the vaccine if your pcp is a UTMB doctor. Check your My Chart for info or you can call your PCP and ask for it if you are 65 or older or if you have a qualifying underlying health issue such as type 2 diabetes.
My friend had an appt at UTMB for pain in her hand last week and they offered her the vaccine right then and there which she took.

It’s like trying to get tickets to a popular concert. By the time they indicate shots are available, the recording states all appointments are filled.

If you are a 65 year old or older patient at Houston Methodist you can get a vaccine appointment through your online account. If you haven't been notified by HM you have to request an invitation through your online MyChart account. It works. I did it and if I can you can also.
