AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Today 20 members of the Texas Army National Guard helping with vaccine distribution across the state made their first stop in the Panhandle.
They hosted a vaccine clinic at the Moore County community building for anyone eligible who needed their first dose.
Throughout the day people trickled in, but given they brought a little over 1,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, they will open the clinic again tomorrow starting at 8:00 in the morning until they run out.

The seven bills, filed by Republicans and Democrats, emerged from hours-long legislative hearings into the power outages in late February, when lawmakers questioned regulatory leaders, energy industry executives and other stakeholders about the crisis.
The proposals represent the first phase of the chamber s response to the power outages, House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, said. They address weatherizing energy infrastructure and improving coordination between state agencies during a disaster, among other issues.
But the bills do not dictate who will pay for weatherproofing at power plants and they do not make sweeping changes to the state s deregulated energy market. I am proud the Texas House is leading the charge in protecting consumers, fortifying our grid, and creating clear lines of communication and authority during extreme weather events, Phelan said in a statement.
