COVID-19 vaccination clinics Wednesday

EAST TEXAS — Opportunities remain abundant to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Jarvis Christian College and the Texas Department of State Health Services will host a free clinic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday in the E. W. Rand Center Varsity Gymnasium on the Jarvis main campus in Hawkins. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will be offered for those age 16 or older. Appointments can be made at this link or by calling (430) 247-1479. Walk-ins will be accepted.

Also, NET Health will have first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine available Wednesday at Arp Jr. High’s cafeteria from 2 p.m – 4 p.m. There will also be a vaccination clinic at that location Oct. 13 during the same hours. Anyone under 18 must have a parent or guardian present in order to receive the vaccine. People looking to get a second dose will need to bring their COVID-19 vaccination card showing when they received their first dose. Walk-ins are welcome. The vaccines are free of charge, but if you have health insurance, you are asked to bring your insurance card.
