Strategic National Stockpile (SNS)
SNS program provides lifesaving medicine and medical equipment to the public at no cost during certain public health emergencies. The SNS Team works with Local and Regional partners to achieve Operational Readiness.
If you have further questions, please contact SNS@DSHS.state.tx.us or visit the US HHS Strategic National Stockpile website.
SNS Medications will often be given out at what is called a Point of Dispensing (POD) site. This is similar to large vaccine sites you may have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
