Question: How do I get vaccinated? Answer: Keep calling.
We get asked throughout the day: How do I get vaccinated?
Are we we giving the best asnwer we can? I wanna know. "We have no official direction, but we tell
(people) what we think we know: call your primary care doctor, call health care
providers, get on as many lists as possible," I said in an email query to County
Judge Phillip Spenrath.
"Can you provide guidance when we are asked about where
to obtain a vaccine, and whether Wharton County will become or be part of a
hub?," I asked. He replied, that's as good as it gets — he gives the same advice
we do.
However, I have no reason to celebrate that we got it right. "You are
currently answering just as I do.(County emergency management coordinator) Andy
(Kirkland) is talking with Colorado County about possibly coordinating a hub.
There is still a lot to be worked out," the judge replied to my email.
You may ask, what is a hub? Here is the definition from the Texas
Health and Human Services: "Beginning in January, Texas established large
vaccination sites or hubs around the state. The goal of these hubs is to provide
more people the vaccine and a simpler way to sign up for an appointment.
Providers will focus on vaccinating areas and populations hardest hit by
COVID‑19."
Wharton County is not in a hub at the moment. No need to dwell on
what we are not doing, so I advice dwell on what we can be doing. That's call,
and keep calling.
Correcton: I should have also mentioned pharmacies on your call lists.
