In Alabama, 1.4 million people have received one dose of coronavirus vaccine, but the state is still behind much of the country for our vaccine rollout.
Judy Smith with the Alabama Department of Public Health says that if you want to get a vaccine, you can in Morgan County, but your only options right now are Pfizer and Moderna.
The first dose of the Pfizer vaccine is being offered free.
Vaccines are administered while residents remain in their vehicles, and all individuals must wear masks including patients and passengers.
Below is a list of known vaccination sites in Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Gatesville and Lampasas.
AdventHealth-Central Texas in Killeen is no longer taking new appointments, and it has been removed from the list.
Some of the vaccine providers can be found on the Texas Department of State Health Services website, and others have been designated providers by the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program.
Vaccine availability is dependent on supply.
