For his work, Miles’ recognitions included being named “Star of the Legislative Session” by the Texas Classroom Teachers Association, “Champion of Women’s Health” by Planned Parenthood and an “Urban Agriculture Leader” by the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension.

DSHS is asking that people call ahead to these facilities to determine if they can receive a vaccination at those locations. You can also reach out to your own doctor to see if they are intending to enroll as a vaccine provider.
The City of Houston has begun providing vaccinations at their public vaccine clinic you must have an appointment and be eligible for a vaccination under Phase 1a or Phase 1b. You can find out more information and make an appointment at 832-393-4220 or at https://houstonemergency.org/covid-19-vaccines/.
Harris County has been begun administering a limited supply of the COVID-19 Moderna vaccine to people eligible under Phase 1a and 1b. You can get more information about the county's efforts at https://publichealth.harriscountytx.gov/Resources/2019-Novel-Coronavirus/COVID-19-Vaccine-Information.
