Based on the delivery timeline we’ve received from the state, Houston Methodist expects to begin administering the COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, Dec. 16. We have divided our employees into three tiered groups. Employees in Tier 3 can now schedule their vaccines.
To schedule your vaccine, please sign in to the Employee Health Portal in MARS.
- Click My Appointments in the left navigation bar
- Click Schedule a new appointment
- Click the drop-down arrow next to Choose the reason for your visit
- Select COVID Vaccine

- Click the calendar icon next to Appointment Date and Time and choose a date
- Click the arrow to choose a time
- Click Submit
Vaccines will be administered in the Employee Health Office located next to HR in the Sweetwater Pavilion. Appointments will be available from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. seven days a week. We can schedule over 2,000 appointments a day for Houston Methodist employees. You will receive two doses of the vaccine, and your second dose will be scheduled when you receive your first dose.
While we’re not making the vaccine mandatory at this time, we’re seeing a large spike in COVID-19 infections in our hospitals over the last three weeks, and we want all our staff to be protected. Getting enough people vaccinated will be the best thing we can do to help our communities return to normal, and as health care workers, you’ll set an important example for others to follow as the vaccine becomes available to everyone in the near future.
You’re also encouraged to take a selfie with our background and print out this sign to hold to tell us why you’re choosing to get vaccinated. Use the #ProtectedTogether hashtag when you share it on social media.
You should access the My Appointments section in your Employee Health portal to schedule your COVID-19 vaccine.
