AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - The first round of COVID-19 vaccinations took place in Amarillo yesterday, and city health officials said the historic day should offer the public hope that the pandemic is coming to an end.
“It’s historic,” said Amarillo Mayor Ginger Nelson. “It reinforces the hope we have that there is an end to this situation.”
“We have a lot of smiling faces walking through our hospital in terms of the staff members coming through to get vaccinations,” said Michael Lamenteer, chief medical officer at BSA Health System. “People are tolerating the vaccine very well. No complaints.”
