Coronavirus

Baylor College of Medicine is committed to vaccinating our patients as quickly as we can. We are following the state guidelines for distributing the COVID-19 vaccine and have offered vaccine appointment slots to all of our interested Phase 1A employees and learners. Per instruction by the State of Texas, we have now started offering the vaccine to our interested and eligible Phase 1B employees, learners, and patients under our care.

If you are an established patient (seen in the last 24 months) in a Baylor Medicine clinic, meet the Phase 1A or Phase 1B criteria and are interested in being vaccinated, your clinical provider will need to place a vaccine order for you, and then you will be able to schedule your vaccination.

To request a vaccine order, the most efficient process is to send a MyChart message to your doctor’s office. You can also call our vaccine line at (713) 798-8600. Please note that hold times may be longer due to significant demand. Because different organizations received vaccine shipments in differing volumes and timeframes, organizations will move to the next phases of vaccines at slightly different times.

Please note, Baylor will not pre-schedule vaccines until we know that we will be receiving allocations from the state. We will continue to provide updates and share the latest information on this page, so please keep checking back for more details. Information will be updated here frequently.

If you are a patient of a Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center hospital-based clinic, including BSLMC Kirby Glen Geriatrics Clinic, Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center, Transplant or CHF clinics, please refer to the  BSLMC Vaccine Information page or call (832) 844-6352 for more details.

Research trial participants who do not have a Baylor Medicine physician should contact their primary care physician or their local Health Department for resources for vaccination. Baylor Medicine is only able to vaccinate patients with clinical encounters at this time.
