The City of Brownwood posted the following on its Facebook page Friday:

Texas continues to receive doses of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, and is distributing statewide to hospitals, pharmacies, local health departments, freestanding ERs and other clinics. Currently front-line healthcare workers and residents at long-term care facilities (called Phase 1A) are being vaccinated. If you are a healthcare worker, contact your employer regarding how you can receive the COVID-19 vaccine. If you are a long-term care resident, please contact your caretaker.

The next group assigned for vaccine distribution is Phase 1B, which includes people over the age of 65 years old with chronic health conditions. Individuals in the Phase 1B group can use the Texas COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Locations Map accessed through this link: http://bit.ly/35mCgyw to check vaccine distribution points in our area as they become available. Remember: do not show up at a hospital or clinic looking for vaccine. Instead please check their website for information about vaccine availability. Call if their website doesn’t answer your questions. Vaccine supply is limited (but more arrives every week) and it will take time to vaccinate all.

Brown County residents can also visit: http://bit.ly/3oplKFC to enter contact information in order to be notified when COVID-19 vaccines are available.
