GALVESTON, Texas – Just hours after Galveston County health officials opened more coronavirus vaccine appointment slots Tuesday all of the slots were filled.
Officials said people who are eligible to receive the vaccine under the current phases could make an appointment online or by phone. By 3:50 p.m. officials said all appointments had been filled.
More appointment slots will be made available as more doses of the vaccine arrive in the county, officials said. If you don’t have access to a computer to make an appointment online, you can call 409-227-8934.
This is the second time Galveston County has opened registration for vaccine appointments. In early January, slots filled up shortly after they were opened.
The Galveston County Health Department and UTMB, along with the Galveston County Office of Emergency Management are working to set up drive-through mass vaccination sites in two spots in the county that could be up and running as soon as this weekend
- UTMB officials confirmed that one site will be Walter Hall Park in League City.
- UTMB is looking at using the Port of Galveston Cruise Ship Terminal as a hub for the southern portion of the county.
No details yet about when these sites will be up and running or how to get registered. KPRC 2 is your vaccine central. We will let you know how as the information is made available.
