LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - The Brownfield Regional Medical Center hosted its third drive-thru vaccination clinic, vaccinating 975 individuals on Wednesday.
“We were allotted 975 doses of the Pfizer. We’re a rural hub… one of the 14 rural hospitals that were picked to be a hub,” said Jerry Jasper, the Chief Medical Officer of BRMC.
55-year-olds and those with comorbidities were eligible for the vaccine in Brownfield, but once the group started to decline and there were a lot of leftover doses, staff began to provide the vaccine to others.
