According to GEMA, second dose appointments for the Pfizer vaccine will be available through the close of business. In addition, the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine will be offered to drive-up customers through Friday.
As previously reported by WACO 100, the state operated mass vaccination site opened in Washington County on Wednesday, March 17. Initially the site offered Pfizer vaccine, but transitioned to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine once the closures were announced.
