Not sure how long you should wait to get the vaccine after having COVID-19? Here's what experts say Health Director Annette Rodriguez says waiting a week or two after you've recovered from the virus should be enough time. Author: KIII Staff Updated: 6:18 PM CST March 12, 2021 CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Coastal Bend COVID-19 Task Force offered an update today on vaccination efforts in Nueces County. According to Public Health Director Annette Rodriguez, next week’s allocation of the vaccine was received this week. That's the reason for a clinic held on Friday at the Richard Borchard Fairgrounds. At least five thousand doses were given out, meaning that the health district is not planning a vaccination event next Tuesday.
