State puts pause on J&J vaccine; drive-ups still scheduled in Nocona
More than 1.9 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine will be shipped to providers across Texas next week, and while no new allocations are coming to Montague County providers, drive-through COVID-19 vaccine clinics are planned two evenings a week in Nocona.
These free clinics are presented by the Texas Division of Emergency Management and will be located in the front parking lot of Nocona General Hospital.
From 1 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays people age 16 and up can drive-through to receive their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
This is a first-come, first-serve clinic where a limited number of doses will be administered. No appointment is needed, just bring a driver’s license or state identification. Watch Nocona General Hospital’s Facebook page for any updates.
This was supposed to be a one-shot clinic using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, however, TDEM has paused that for the time being. The shot clinic in Nocona will continue at least through April at this time and second doses will be available at a later date.
Tuesday the Texas Department of State Health Services issued a statement asking vaccine providers in Texas to pause all administration of the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine following Tuesday’s recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration.
