Inside Lubbock s pop-up COVID vaccine clinic
Mayor Dan Pope was giving a media tour of the pop-up vaccine clinic inside the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center on Thursday when his cell phone went off. Great, he said after reading a message. It looks like we may get 5k (doses of the Moderna vaccine) next week.
Lubbock s mayor said that is how it s been working. The city gets notified from the state about how many doses of the Moderna vaccine it ll be receiving, and the health department starts making plans to distribute it. Sometimes the city is notified a few days before doses arrive, sometimes within 24 hours.
