As a mom, you’ve got lots on your plate, and if we’re being honest, probably a HANDFUL of full plates.
Your job is to consider everyone in your family—the always, never-ending monitoring of whether they are wearing clean underwear and socks, did they eat enough broccoli, do we have Goldfish crackers for school lunch tomorrow, and on and on… but what about your decision to vaccinate against COVID-19? We’re here to help make some of that information gathering a little bit easier for you.
Check out the facts about COVID vaccines that we shared, and then below, you can use this handy list to find where vaccines are available when you’re ready. Make sure to call ahead to verify that the location has a supply of shots, and of course, give yourself enough time to get there but also a few minutes afterward to make sure you’re ready to hit the road again.
Lubbock Moms has partnered up with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to bring you timely and accurate information during this critical time for families. We hope you feel fully informed and ready.
COVID vaccines are free and easily accessible in our communities for everyone ages five and older, regardless of health or immigration status. Here are a few ways to find vaccines near you:
