We are committed to providing COVID-19 vaccines to as many people as possible in the most effective and efficient way possible. We are not a community vaccine site but we are currently providing COVID-19 vaccines to our patients who've been identified as being at the highest risk. Our office is directly contacting this list of eligible patients, by phone or through a MyChart message, with instructions for scheduling their vaccine appointment.
We expect to continue receiving additional vaccines to provide to more of our patients. When one of our patients becomes eligible to receive a vaccine from our office, they will be contacted by phone or through a MyChart message with directions for scheduling their appointment.
We are following the State of Texas and the Center for Disease Control tiered prioritized COVID-19 vaccine distribution system.
If you are a patient at UT Health San Antonio and have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, please send a message to your provider using MyChart, your secure, personalized medical record accessible 24/7.
If you are not a patient at UT Health San Antonio, contact your primary care physician’s office. If you do not have a primary care physician, visit the City of San Antonio website for information on community vaccines.

Currently, we are providing the limited number of COVID-19 vaccines we've received to a list of our patients who've been identified as being at the highest risk for COVID-19 complications. Our office is directly contacting these patients, either by phone or through a MyChart message, with instructions for scheduling their vaccine appointment.
We expect to receive additional vaccines for more of our patients over the next several months. If you are a patient and become eligible to receive a vaccine from our office, you will be notified by phone or through MyChart with instructions for scheduling your vaccine appointment.
If you have already been notified that you are eligible to receive your COVID- 19 vaccine, please schedule your appointment through MyChart as we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes.
If you are a current UT Health San Antonio patient and want to schedule a regular physician appointment, not a COVID-19 vaccine, please use MyChart to easily schedule your appointment.

Is there a fee for the COVID-19 vaccine?
Vaccine recipients will have no out-of-pocket expenses.
For patients who have Medicare, Medicaid or a third-party insurer, your insurer will be billed a nominal fee of $17 for the first dose and $28 for the second dose per Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) allowable charges for the extra supplies and staffing to administer the vaccine.
