The Abilene-Taylor County Public Health District has 1,460 doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to administer at a clinic Thursday at the Abilene Convention Center, with more coming next week. We anticipate that we will be able to get a sixth dose out of some of the vials, said Annette Lerma, public health director, potentially turning that supply into about 1,600 doses.
Because of scheduling, the health district had announced Wednesday morning that walk-up availability might be accepted at the Thursday clinic. By 3:20 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, however, officials announced that all appointments had been filled.
In addition, those who have received calls for a vaccine should try to call back, she said.
Abilene ISD Redeemed After Changing Racist School Names
ABILENE, TX – The Abilene Independent School District voted to rename three elementary schools after the names of the schools were deemed racist by social justice groups.
According to KTXS, on Jan. 14, the AISD School Board voted 6-1 on three different items renaming campuses named after confederate generals.
The four schools named after the rebels were Robert E. Lee Elementary, Albert Johnston Elementary, John Reagan Elementary, and Stonewall Jackson Elementary.
All four of these men owned human beings. Now the campuses will be named after people who deserve it.
Lee will be renamed after Robert and Sammye Stafford. Staffords were education pioneers to African American families in Abilene.
