Texas National Guard helping vaccinate Moore County residents
VIDEO: Texas National Guard helping vaccinate Moore County residents By Vania Patino | March 11, 2021 at 9:42 PM CST - Updated March 11 at 10:23 PM
AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Today 20 members of the Texas Army National Guard helping with vaccine distribution across the state made their first stop in the Panhandle.
They hosted a vaccine clinic at the Moore County community building for anyone eligible who needed their first dose.
Throughout the day people trickled in, but given they brought a little over 1,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, they will open the clinic again tomorrow starting at 8:00 in the morning until they run out.
Marion County is not alone. This vaccination trend is occurring all across Florida and the United States.
Area officials say the vaccine disparity in communities of color is a result of many factors. Among them: hesitancy due to distrust, lack of reliable transportation and lack of reliable technology/internet access to make appointments.
Some Black community leaders note that many who live in low-income communities, no matter their race, can t afford television service, or a newspaper subscription, to get vital real-time updates of when vaccines become available.
Local Black leaders say that the disparity is not from a lack of trying. Three community outreach vaccination events have been held at Black churches around Ocala, and a fourth will be held March 18 in Reddick.

Moon Booter IPA is a West Coast IPA brewed with a delicious blend of hops: Mosaic Cryo, Azacca Cryo, New Zealand Rakau, Chinook, and HBC 360. (Remember what I told you about unnamed, numbered hops?) It is dank and fruity, with a complex hop character reminiscent of juicy oranges, peaches, and over-ripe stone fruit. It’s quite fabulous.
