In recent months, just as Mauricio Fernández did – to learn how the vaccination process was carried out in the United States, although in Fresno (California) – dozens of people from Monterrey and Nuevo Leon have chosen to travel to Texas despite the limitations in border. Some go to Houston, others to Dallas, San Antonio and even McAllen but all on flights.
“Today I had the opportunity to see how the vaccination process works in the United States, I wanted to see it closely to understand it and see how things are”
To make these trips, you have to spend between 9,000 and 29,000 pesos, but everything has a reward that in Mexico cannot yet be obtained and we are not talking about the Oreo cookies in its special edition of Lady Gaga but a dose of the anti-Covid vaccine -19.
And it is that some have seen that through pages like heb.com They can make an appointment to be vaccinated because this supermarket website does not have geolocation blocked as it happens with Publix in Florida.
This “error” is used by some Mexicans to launch the drug in Texas and it is there that both pharmacies and large stores are dispensing the vaccines of Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen of Johnson & Johnson to the majority of the population, giving priority to older adults or with some health specification.
Registering the appointment is very easy. The user only has to access the web heb.com (but from the United States) and there access the Covid-19 section.

From there, the system allows you to schedule an appointment in principle if you are over 50 years old in what is called the Fase 1C. At the time of making the appointment, check the address of the center and even the type of vaccines they inoculate because if you opt for the Janssen from Johnson & Johnson, you’ll only need one dose and save yourself another trip.
Keep in mind that appointments practically happen from one day to the next so you will have to be very attentive to the system.
From there you will only have to include your personal data and go to the appointment on the corresponding day and time. In the event that you have to return for the second dose, the HEB pharmacy will give you the appointment so you can return for your dose. In some cases, you may even receive a phone call.
It is important to remember that vaccines should not be mixed and after receiving the drug in the United States it should not be reinforced with a new dose in Mexico.
