Fort Smith Times Record
With 180,000 more Arkansans eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, pharmacies are going to have to assess how to accommodate more people.
Health Depot, 1210 Cavanaugh Road, in Fort Smith had been administering the vaccine in-house, but recently moved its vaccine clinic to nearby Haven Heights Baptist Church, 7701 U.S. 271.
Instead of having the vaccines spread out throughout the week, Health Depot has started holding weekly clinics on Mondays at the church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with appointments at 15-minute increments.
There are three stations for shots and places for people to sit for 15 minutes after the shot to make sure the patient does not have an adverse reaction to the vaccine.
