Word got around that the offices of Dr. Norma Iglesias and Associates in Pharr and San Juan were administering COVID-19 vaccines to the general public on Saturday.
Dr. Iglesias said that they are not doing that.
When Channel 5 News replayed a recorded conversation with an employee who said they were administering vaccines to the general public, Dr. Iglesias said she didn t recognize the voice on the recording.
Doctor s offices in Pharr and San Juan provided the COVID-19 vaccine to the public Saturday.
The offices of Dr. Norma Iglesias and Associates in Pharr and San Juan administered the Moderna vaccine to the general public on Saturday. All I know is somebody told me that this was going on and, like I told you, if I have an opportunity, I m going to take it, said a 63-year-old woman who visited the doctor s office Saturday.
The woman said she s not a first responder or classified as an essential employee. There s some guilt involved in that there might be first responders that still have not received their immunizations, the woman said. Again, like I said, I didn t actively go out and look, but once I was told that this was available, I m going to see if I can take advantage of it.
