- Now a circle with a down arrow is presented as a cue the scroll down for more information
- The first item is a ‘heat map’ of the states. You can hover over each state to see vaccine statistics for that state.
- Scroll down more to What is the vaccine distribution timeline in Texas? You can click ‘Read more’ to read the whole thing and then click ‘hide’ to collapse it again.
- This screen will tell you if you’re eligible based on your state’s criteria.
- Scroll down more to How will I be notified when it is my turn to receive the vaccine? Click on ‘here’ link to Texas Department of State Health Service (DSHS).

- Still having issues finding a vaccination solution for you? Call 2-1-1 for referral to a local vaccine provider. This is a good resource for friends who don’t have internet or have trouble navigating the internet.
