For some Texans, getting a COVID-19 vaccine has been a challenge. From long lines to confusing online registration, it can be a complicated, time-consuming endeavor.
But not in Amarillo – at least according to Potter County Judge Nancy Tanner. Parts of Amarillo are located in Potter County.
Tanner says the rollout in her area has been relatively smooth. And people from across the Panhandle and even out of state are coming to Amarillo for shots.
Tanner says the county has distributed over 41,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses so far.
She attributes the smooth rollout, in part, to the large Amarillo civic center vaccination site where those waiting in line can do so safely, practicing social distancing. And unlike many other cities and counties, Potter County doesn’t have an online registration system; you just show up.
