LATEST COVID-19 & VACCINE INFORMATION

Gov. Greg Abbott and the DSHS have appointed the Expert Vaccine Allocation Panel (EVAP) to make recommendations about COVID vaccine distribution and allotments. This panel has created two phases for distribution candidates. 

Phase 1 has two tiers. 

In Phase 1 First Tier healthcare workers and emergency medical personnel who work directly with vulnerable populations or who have COVID will be given the vaccine. Residents of long-term care facilities will also be candidates. 

In Phase 1 Second Tier staff who work with symptomatic patients in out-care settings, emergency clinics, urgent care and, pharmacies will be candidates. Funeral home workers and school nurses also fall under this category. 

DSHS expects to release the vaccine to the general public in the spring. We have collected several websites for you to review if you want to learn more about the vaccine rollout in Texas.

From the Lake Jackson Public Works Department:

A reminder to everyone to please help the City sanitation crew and system by not flushing wet wipes, paper towels, or napkins down the toilet. If you are affected by a toilet paper shortage or simply want to get rid of used wipes or other cleaning products from your homes, instead, throw away these items in a trash bin. We want to effectively provide all residents their sanitary sewer services while everyone is trying to remain at home. Thank you.
