COVID-19 is a coronavirus disease in Texas
Coronavirus disease 2019 is a new respiratory illness that is spread through respiratory droplets. The virus is different from coronaviruses that normally circulate in humans, which usually cause mild illness such as the common cold. Anyone six months of age and older can receive the vaccine against the disease. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, and a headache.
Vaccines are available
There are many vaccinations available to protect you from diseases. If you are a Texas resident and you are concerned about your health, you may want to consider getting your COVID-19 vaccine. This new vaccine is bivalent and protects against both the original strain of COVID-19 and the omicron variant, which is responsible for causing the majority of cases in the United States. Texas has particularly high transmission of omicron variants, especially in Dallas and Tarrant Counties.
Care at home
Texas Health Care at Home is a new model for delivering medical care that leverages technology in the home. This method of healthcare delivers care to patients in a setting that addresses their emotional and social needs, as well as reduces their readmission rates to emergency departments. Its patient testimonials point to major benefits that promote healing.
HIETexas
