The DSHS serves as the lead agency in the COVID-19 vaccine distribution for Texas. In doing so, the state agency appointed experts into the COVID-19 Expert Vaccine Allocation Panel (EVAP) to develop vaccine distribution strategies with the Texas Commissioner of Health for approval. This month, the DSHS approved a vaccine distribution two-tier process shown below.

Additionally, the state's vaccine distribution plans will follow the U.S. government's Operation Warp Speed process, which includes vaccines approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).
