Last week Gov. Greg Abbott announced that the Save Our Seniors program, aimed at providing in-home immunizations to homebound Texas seniors, expanded to Hidalgo County.
McAllen residents who are homebound and unable to get to a vaccination clinic can dial 3-1-1 or 681-3111 for assistance. A McAllen 3-1-1 customer service specialist will take the information, in English or Spanish, from callers and will then submit the information to the state for processing.

Senate Bill Z sponsored by Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, is one of Gov. Gregg Abbott’s legislative priorities this session.
