When a new mom in Austin found out that COVID-19 vaccine appointments were open in Killeen, she sent her healthy, 28-year-old husband and her 65-year-old mother to get their injections.
Sandra Bookman has more on the latest CDC COVID vaccine guidelines.
Anton said that if a provider has access to a recipient s medical records - for example if the person is an existing patient - those may be used to verify a person s medical eligibility, but providers are not allowed, under state health guidelines, to require recipients to prove a medical condition.
She added that the state does not want to make it more difficult for people to get the shot by requiring them to bring medical records. We don t want to create barriers that would prevent people from getting vaccinated, and every person who is vaccinated slows the spread of the disease and relieves pressure on the hospital system, Anton said.
