Texas Children's prepares and administers COVID-19 vaccine to workforce

At Texas Children’s Hospital, the safety and well-being of our employees and medical staff is critical. That’s why we are proud to share we are in the midst of administering the COVID-19 vaccine to our workforce. Based on federal, state and leading academic guidance regarding vaccine allocation, we established a framework for the equitable allocation of COVID-19 vaccines that guides us in our distribution process. What we know as a medical community is that vaccination is one of the safest and most effective means we have to fight against preventable diseases. We also know we must couple being vaccinated with the practices we’ve adopted throughout this pandemic – hand washing, social distancing and properly wearing a mask, to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the community. We are so proud of our employees and medical staff who continue to demonstrate resilience and dedication to our patients and each other. Texas Children’s is committed to keeping our team, our patients and the community at large, safe and healthy. We encourage each and every person who is eligible to please be vaccinated.
