City and medical officials took the majority of Wednesday’s COVID-19 news conference to address the continued success of local vaccination efforts through both area providers and the city’s walk-in clinic at the Amarillo Civic Center Complex.
According to previous Globe-News reports, Amarillo was recently named the nation’s leader in COVID-19 vaccinations by COVID Act Now, vaccinating nearly 30,000 individuals in the Phase 1A and 1B categories. These groups consist of frontline healthcare workers, residents of long-term care facilities, community members 65 and older, and people 18 and older who have at least one chronic medical condition that puts them at increased risk for severe illness if they contract COVID-19.
