ORMC To Administer Second Doses of COVID-19 Vaccine
Now that the Ratliff Stadium mass vaccination site has been closed, Odessa Regional Medical Center will now be providing shots to those who need the second dose.
According to NewsWest 9, the only catch is they will only provide second doses to those who had their first dose at Ratliff Stadium before February 25, 2021.
ORMC will be open for second doses from 8am-6:30pm Monday-Friday.
Those who need a second shot should receive an e-mail from the Vaccine Tracker with an appointment for the second shot.
If the appointment does not work out for you, you can email your name, date of birth, and the date and location of your first dose to Deborah.Chester@steward.org and put Second Booster Appointment in the subject line.

Midland Health Has Administered Over 50,000 COVID Vaccines But Not All to Midlanders
Midland Health has given out those 50,000 shots but they say only about 30,000 have been to Midland County residents.
According to the Midland Reporter-Telegram, Midland Health CEO Russell Meyers says about 20,000 doses have went to people from outside of Midland because they are not requiring anyone to be a resident of Midland County to get the vaccine.
“We’ve got people from all over Texas who have come here and gotten vaccines, several hundred from El Paso, about 100 each from just about every town in the state,” Meyers said. “I think it’s a safe bet that at least 30,000 Midlanders have been vaccinated, maybe higher than that.”
