Memorial Hermann is teaming up with NRG Park to offer a COVID-19 vaccination clinic on Thursday, but all available appointments have been booked.
During this event, Hermann Memorial intends to vaccinate people aged 65 and over, which is based on the guidelines of phase 1B vaccination distribution.
Memorial Hermann added that since 5:00 pm on Friday, a total of about 6,300 people have been vaccinated since it opened Thursday morning.
Vaccination is scheduled only for those who qualify according to state instructions.
“Due to the limited number of vaccines, people who do not have a confirmation of the meeting or a photo ID that matches the name and date of birth on the confirmation of the appointment will not be vaccinated,” reads a statement posted on the Hermann Memorial website.
