Port Arthur and Beaumont campuses (will) administer the COVID-19 vaccine to health care personnel.
Steward Health Care began its preparations to safely and efficiently receive, store, distribute and administer the COVID-19 vaccine months ago.
These preparations included the procurement of deep freezers and development of proprietary IT software designed to facilitate scheduling health care personnel to receive vaccines in a physically distanced manner.
We have a team of clinicians and subject matter experts who are leading our efforts and ensuring our processes follow all current CDC and FDA guidelines.
We are awaiting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA and are prepared to offer and administer the vaccine to our health care personnel, inclusive of all Steward health care personnel, front line health care workers and affiliated community medical staff members, as soon as the vaccine becomes available at our facilities.
