The Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District will hold two COVID-19 vaccination drive-thru clinics this week.
The health district said Sunday that it would receive a shipment of 5,500 Moderna vaccine doses this week. The supplies arrived Monday.
Five thousand doses will be given at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds on Tuesday starting at 8 a.m. Those doses will all be given on Tuesday so state officials can test the vaccination system’s capacity.
There will be no online pre-registration; all registration will be done on site.
On Friday, 500 doses will be given to people who received their first shot at the health district’s drive-thru clinic on Dec. 29. Public health director Annette Rodriguez said 537 people were given their first shots during that clinic.
Pilot Mountain Middle School published its first literary magazine, The Raven’s Claw, in March. ‘
Students submitted visual arts and creative writing on the theme of “Growth” for the magazine’s first issue. The literary magazine is a way to encourage creativity and leadership among our students.
Brett Gordon and Amy Harpe, sponsors, were excited to see the entries for the first publication and hope that this project continues to grow in the April and May issues.
“This magazine would not have been possible without the enthusiasm of our student editors: Sally Blakeney, Ellen Fear, and Gabriella Newsom,” the sponsors said. “You may view the magazine on our school social media pages or at http://bit.ly/RavensClaw.“
