LIST: 'Super Saturday Vaccination Day' locations in the Houston area
HOUSTON - Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and numerous other Houston-area school districts announced a new initiative on Wednesday to get children ages 12 and over vaccinated.
The initiative called "Super Saturday Vaccination Day" aims to get families and children vaccinated before heading back to school.
"If you are unvaccinated, you are a threat to yourself and everyone around you, especially your family," said Dr. David Persse, chief medical officer for the City of Houston, said on Wednesday. "This virus is spreading so rapidly that most unvaccinated people may get COVID-19 and many will get sick enough to need hospital care. Every person who is hospitalized for COVID-19 occupies a bed that’s needed for typical emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, and trauma."
The vaccination days will start on Saturday, August 7, and will take place every Saturday in August in different school campuses throughout the Houston region.
