LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - United Supermarkets hosted its first vaccine clinic on Texas Tech’s campus, inoculating about 1,200 people with the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Tim Purser, the director of pharmacy for United, says the appointments for the clinic filled up in a matter of days.
Student Moises Castro says the convenience of the clinic played a part in his decision to get the shot.
“It’s good that it’s right on campus and it’s free, you don’t have to show like an insurance or anything, you just come in and anyone can get it. It’s nice, it’s empowering to see everyone coming together to get this going so we can come back to normal again,” Castro said.
