COPPERAS COVE â There was a steady flow of cars going through Copperas Cove High Schoolâs parking lot near the cafeteria Saturday as more than 500 area residents received their first dose of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.
Copperas Cove Deputy Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator, Gary Young, said the city received a total of 564 registrants in the vaccine event.
Of those who received the vaccine Saturday was 55-year-old Copperas Cove ISD employee Barb Bednar.
âI checked my email 10 minutes before appointments opened up,â Bednar said. In her email she saw the notice about the drive-thru vaccination clinic.
Appointment registration opened on Tuesday, and all slots had been filled within an hour.
