After covering the #covid19 vaccine rollout for the past 48 hours, the main thing I’ve learned is this: outside of frontline medical personnel, hospital system VIPs, & the separate federal nursing home rollout, it’s sort of each man for himself. 1/ If you’re a patient-facing medical worker for a major hospital: Methodist, Hermann, HCA, etc. You probably already got a #Covid19 vaccine last week. Next best bet is to be staff, volunteer, or board member for a hospital chain. 2/

While the @TXMedCenter, @MethodistHosp, & others saying “we have capacity” yesterday in public, internal email shows 600 staffers have tested positive for #covid19, they’re hiring travel nurses, & admins are asked to pick up shifts. 🤨🤨 And since we’re here, I’d like to point out local doctors I have spoken with would like to see @texmed, @TXMedCenter, & other med groups take a more aggressive #covid19 stance. Tell #txlege & electeds what’s really up, compel them to act.
