Friends, loved ones and community members came together on Saturday to celebrate the dedication of a butterfly bench in memory of Martha “Marty” Carolyn Callicoat Lindley.
In response to community needs, New Braunfels Christian Ministries has partnered with Community Resource and Recreation Center of Canyon Lake to open a satellite clinic of Volunteers in Medicine.
Comal County providers have begun receiving doses of the COVID-19 vaccine for administration to first responders and health care workers, public health officials told county commissioners on Tuesday.
Cheryl Fraser, director of public health, told Comal County commissioners during their weekly meeting that 3,700 doses have been allotted to different providers, with 500 of those received and the balance expected to arrive either this week or next week in two different deliveries.
Fraser said, however, that those numbers do not include the nursing homes that have partnered with big-box pharmacies, which are part of a federal distribution system. She added that officials know that pharmacies are also getting vaccines that will be provided to local nursing homes.
