subHUB IMPLEMENTS NEW PRE-REGISTRATION PROCESS; SECOND VACCINE DOSE APPOINTMENTS RESCHEDULED
The Regional Vaccination subHUB at the Washington County Expo has moved to a new registration process.
(Mark Whitehead)
Starting on Friday, the subHUB, in collaboration with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), moved from telephone pre-registration to the SafeRestart Vaccine platform.
Officials at the subHUB say the platform, created and managed by GMR, is a purpose-built system that has been validated for managing the pre-registration, documentation, and reporting requirements of COVID-19 vaccine administration.
The HIPAA-compliant system guides users through entering their demographic and contact information, as well as their preferred communication method of text, email, or automated phone call.
Once pre-registration is complete, users will receive a success notification and an email informing them that they have been placed on the waiting list to receive the vaccine. The platform also automatically schedules users’ second-dose appointments and provides appointment reminders via their preferred contact method.
When vaccine doses are available, users receive an invitation to schedule their appointment date and time from the available options. They are also assigned a custom barcode or “ticket” for admission to the subHUB when they arrive for their appointment.
Due to the inclement weather across the state and potential delays in vaccine shipments because of icy roads, officials have rescheduled this upcoming week’s vaccinations. Anyone with appointments to receive their second vaccine dose on Wednesday, February 17th has been rescheduled to Monday, February 22nd. The appointment times will remain the same.
Further updates on the subHUB are available at www.localevent.info, and on the Facebook pages for the Washington County Office of Emergency Management and the City of Brenham.
Great news about the new preregistration. How do we access the new platform Safe Restart? No website or phone number or instruction was provided.
I should have added to my question above………having experienced my first shot at the fairgrounds I can say WOW!!!!!!! what an impressive effort by those working the event.
My second vaccine is scheduled for March 2. Do I need to start over again for rescheduling or will my second dosage still be administered as I was told when my first shot was scheduled.
Is it just me or does every move made seem only to increase the vaccine administration confusion ?
Does this latest article apply only to those awaiting their second vaccine or does it apply to those of us still trying to register for our first shot ?
Where is the link to this new registration site ?
I never received a notice !
How do we know when the 2nd appointment is to get the second dose? My father was vaccinated at the end of January and he still has not received a call or text about his appointment. He meets 5 of the 6 risk factors in the high risk category. I have to make sure he will get his second dose. There is no link to the platform either. Where do we go to get him registered. We need answers please!!!!!!!
For those who already have a second shot appointment March 2, do we have to start over with registration/appointments?
Yes, my husband and I have appointments that day too, would also like to know if we have to start over.
