The holiday season is just around the corner! Plan ahead to protect family and friends from COVID at holiday gatherings by staying up to date on vaccines. In November, the City of Amarillo Public Health Department will host free COVID vaccine clinics at each of the Amarillo libraries.
The first and second doses, and the new booster, will be available. There is no charge, and everyone, age 6 months and older, is eligible for the COVID vaccine.
Library Vaccine Clinic Dates are as follows:
• 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on November 9 – East Branch Library, 2232 SE 27th Ave.
• 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on November 10 – Northwest Branch Library, 6100 SW 9th Ave.
• 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on November 12 – Southwest Branch Library, 6801 SW 45th Ave.
Medical experts predict an uptick in COVID cases as the weather turns colder and people gather indoors more often. Vaccines are the best protection against severe disease and death. Those who have received a COVID vaccine or booster more than two months ago are eligible for the new booster which provides additional protection from the original virus and the Omicron variant currently circulating.
In addition to the clinics at public library locations, vaccinations are available at the Amarillo Public Health Department and Public Health mobile vaccine clinics. Learn more.
