SAISD expects first shipment of COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 to arrive by the end of the week. Vaccinations require registration and will be administered by medical staff from South Texas Allergy & Asthma Medical Professionals.

SAN ANTONIO – A shipment of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine was well received by staff at an allergy clinic in Olmos Park on Wednesday. “Right now, the priority for phase one is our health care workers and also those people living in long term health care facilities that are of older age and higher risk,” Gonzalez said. Additionally, she became the first health care worker to be vaccinated against COVID-19 at STAAMP. But with the importance of this vaccine, health care workers there say they see the opportunity to administer it as a gift in itself.
