During a bioterrorism event or large-scale public health emergency, Collin County faces a challenge in getting lifesaving medications to all of its residents. Businesses and other large organizations can partner with Collin County and create a closed POD site to help protect their employees, members, contractors, and their families.

Government efforts to provide the public with mass prophylaxis in a crisis are inherently associated with long lines of people waiting to receive medical treatment. By partnering with us, your company has the opportunity to take care of your employees and their families at your facility.

Becoming a partner with Collin County will help your organization by minimizing business interruptions and maximizing business continuity. Other benefits include less anxiety, shorter waiting times, and a more convenient and familiar location for your employees during an emergency. The identity of closed POD sites are kept confidential and training is specific to each business and organization that chooses to partner with Collin County.

If interested in becoming a Closed POD, please contact us.

The Collin County Public Health Emergency Preparedness team will assist and support your organization in becoming a closed POD. We will help develop your Point of Dispensing Plan, conduct trainings, and assist you in planning drills and exercises to test your POD.
