As COVID-19 active cases remain steady, Comal County commissioners enthusiastically approved agreements with San Antonio nursing schools whose students have played a critical role in county COVID-19 vaccinations.
âWe couldnât have done it without them,â said Cheryl Fraser, public health director, prior to county agreements formalizing relationships with Alamo Collegesâ St. Phillipâs College and Galen Health Institutes Inc., parent of Galen College of Nursing.
âWith these mass clinics weâre doing we need approximately 50 to 60 students to administer up to 2,000 vaccines a day,â Fraser said. âWeâve talked to several local colleges for students to do their clinical hours at the site (New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center).â
Comal County officials are pleased with the pace and performance of COVID-19 clinics, which this week staged two more mass inoculations at the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center.
âAs of (Wednesday) we held our 10th mass vaccination clinic at the Civic Center,â Cheryl Fraser, the countyâs public health director, said during Thursdayâs commissionerâs court meeting. âIt was our fourth second-dose mass vaccination clinic, and we administered 2,053 Moderna vaccines.â
Fraser said of the countyâs 47 registered COVID-19 vaccine providers, 19 have administered 13,900 doses. She said public health has administered 16,300 doses and plans to administer up to 6,000 first and second doses next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for a total of 22,300.
