BRAZOS COUNTY, Texas — The Brazos Center will not open as a vaccination distribution site next week.
The Office of the Brazos County Judge said the delay is because of technical issues and the state has yet to send the vaccines. A new tentative date to open has not yet been released.
Former Brazos County chief deputy Jim Stewart announced the Brazos Center was set to open as a vaccination HUB next week at a press conference Wednesday. Stewart, leader of the local vaccination administration plan, was hoping Monday could have been a dry-run for the distributions.
Brazos County Judge Duane Peters has reserved the facility as a vaccination site Monday through Friday, for the next three months. CHI St. Joseph Health has been selected as a vaccination HUB by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).
When the Brazos Center does open up as a vaccination site, people must make an appointment to receive their doses. Walk-ins will not be accepted. Those who register and qualify for the vaccine will receive a specific date and time to go.
The Brazos Center is not involved with the administration of COVID-19 vaccines and cannot answer questions.
Those who meet the qualifying criteria to get a vaccine can get information through DSHS, CHI St. Joseph Health, Baylor Scott & White Health or HEB.
