With the many calls and questions we have received about our COVID-19 vaccination process, we thank you for your patience and appreciate your trust in our physicians and staff. We continue to work as hard as we can to secure more vaccine doses for our patients and the community and to make this process easy.
We will continue to update you as the situation evolves. You can check Austinregionalclinic.com for updates and visit our COVID-19 Care page for any questions you have about the vaccine itself.
Here are some ways to avoid wait times on the phone and get the care you need.
ARC follows Texas DSHS Guidelines with the current limited supply
