In an effort to decrease the transmission of COVID-19, Houston Healthcare continues to vaccinate members in the community with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. More than 20,000 people have been vaccinated by our staff.  

“As an organization, we consider it a priority of being able to provide the vaccines to the public to help in our mission of protecting and keeping our community safe and healthy during this time,” says Melissa Phagan, Chief of Staff with Houston Healthcare. “To date, over 82 percent of our employees have been vaccinated and nearly 200 of our physicians, with privileges at either Houston Medical Center or Perry Hospital, have received the vaccine.” Houston Healthcare also partnered with the Houston County School System in March to vaccinate teachers and staff with over 1,500 receiving the vaccine thus far.

“It’s important that we educate and encourage our community members to be aware of the vaccine and understand the benefits. We are fortunate that several churches and organizations have reached out as well, and we will be hosting vaccination clinics at their locations,” shares Phagan. For more information about where you can get your vaccine through Houston Healthcare, visit our Facebook page or call our COVID Hotline at (478) 352-4636, Monday through Friday from 7:30 am – 3 pm. The community is also able to register online for their vaccine, which will be given at Houston Medical Center, at www.hhc.org/check-in. Please note that all vaccines at Houston Medical Center have to be pre-scheduled.
