Texas is attempting to follow a weekly timeline for ordering and allocation of vaccines to providers in Texas. Providers request allocations weekly by Thursday at 5 pm CT for the number of vaccines that they can administer in one week. Providers are notified the following week if they are allocated vaccines, which should be received the next Monday. Their proposed timeline is depicted in this graphic.
As an example of how the process works, Health by Design submitted our allocation requests on Monday, 1/18 (Day 1), for a one week estimate of vaccine for all of our approved clinics in Texas. We received allocation notification email on 1/29 (Day 12) that we were approved for an allocation for one clinic. Vaccines were received at the approved clinic on Monday, 2/1 (Day 15).
