More vaccine to arrive in Montague County
The state of Texas will receive 407,650 first doses of COVID-19 vaccine from the federal government for the week of Feb. 15.
The Texas Department of State Health Services has instructed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ship those doses to 302 providers in 158 counties across Texas. That includes 85 hub providers that will focus on broader community vaccination efforts including the hardest hit populations and areas in exchange for a steady supply of vaccine from week to week.
An additional 217 providers will receive doses next week with a focus on those that serve older adults, such as health departments, pharmacies, federally qualified health centers, community and rural clinics, and some medical practices that specialize in care for older adults.
For Montague County the supply of vaccine continues to be nominal. For week 10 Nocona General Hospital will receive 200 doses. The hospital conducted round two of vaccine doses last Thursday and Friday.
The Feb. 16 follow-up vaccine clinic has been rescheduled to Feb. 23. Those already scheduled should attend at the original time at The Carpenter Shop.
Hospital officials said they will announce further distribution when those plans are available.
