CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Governor Greg Abbott announced Monday that Corpus Christi's Save Our Seniors program is being implemented in 26 Texas counties.
The Texas Division of Emergency (TDEM), the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), and the Texas Military Department (TMD) are using the model developed in Corpus Christi to help more seniors get vaccinated throughout the state.
Working with local officials and organizations, they expect to give 8,000 vaccine doses in the first week of the program.
"The Save Our Seniors program will help us reach vulnerable homebound seniors across the state and provide them with live-saving COVID-19 vaccines," said Governor Abbott. "As more communities are identified and selected for the program, we will be able to get more shots in arms and further strengthen our response to this virus."
