Yuma County denies canceling Gadsden vaccine clinic
School district press release claimed doses were given to other teachers
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Yuma County on Friday responded to claims by the Gadsden Elementary School District (GESD) that health officials canceled a coronavirus vaccine clinic planned for its teachers.
In a statement released Wednesday, GESD wrote: Yuma County Health Department has informed Gadsden Elementary School District 32 that the February 24, 2021 vaccine distribution has been cancelled. Priority has been given to Yuma Union High School for the second dose. We have been notified by the Yuma County Superintendent office that GESD is tentatively scheduled for early March no specific date has been set.
Diana Gomez and her boyfriend, Curtis Feronti, have been hunkered down in a powerless apartment in the Crestview neighborhood in Austin for almost two days.
Like millions of other Texans who lost power early Monday morning, Gomez is worried about the plummeting temperatures in the apartment.
“Right now it’s reading at 50 degrees,” she said after checking her thermostat.
Gomez and Feronti say they are mostly staying in a bedroom under the covers because it’s the warmest option right now.
Their life is currently laser focused on staying warm and figuring out how to make food without any power. Feronti has some camping gear, so they can charge their phones with solar power. They are largely subsisting on granola, peanut butter and tuna they bought for a camping trip.
