CVS Health will begin to administer coronavirus vaccinations at 70 CVS pharmacy locations across Texas, including Brownsville.
The vaccination distribution will begin Feb. 11 with appointment bookings beginning on Feb. 9. Residents must register online or call to receive one of the limited number of injections.
CVS says it will receive 38,000 doses to administer throughout Texas, including Abilene, Amarillo, Beaumont, Brownsville, El Paso, Houston, Laredo, Lubbock, Midland, Plano, San Antonio, and Waco.
The company says it will expand to more locations and offer additional appointments once more doses become available.
“One of our greatest strengths as a company is our presence in communities across the country, which makes us an ideal partner for administering vaccines in a safe, convenient, and familiar manner,” said Karen S. Lynch, president and CEO, CVS Health. “We continue to be grateful for the commitment of our frontline colleagues whose dedication has allowed us to deliver care and peace of mind throughout the pandemic.”
The vaccines will only be available to those who fall under Phase 1A or 1B of the state’s vaccine distribution plan.
Patients must register in advance at CVS.com or through the CVS Pharmacy app, and people without online access can contact CVS customer service: (800) 746-7287.
Walk-in vaccinations without an appointment will not be provided. The company has not said which Brownsville locations will offer the vaccines.
