AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Staff at an Amarillo clinic are busy volunteering to vaccinate the community.
Members of multiple departments from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center have spent 16-hour days providing 10,000 vaccines to our community.
These physicians, nursing or front staff have had to be pulled away from their regular duties to help at the clinic.
“It takes a lot of people to do that and those are people who already had jobs, they have patients they need to see, but we’ve had to pull them away to allow them to help, the urgent demand in the community to get people vaccinated,” chairman of the family and community medicine at TTUHSC.
