Remember to set clocks ahead, sign up for vaccination Monday
This year, the switch to Daylight saving time is a good reminder to register for a COVID-19 vaccination clinic taking place on Tuesday at the Garland County Fairgrounds.
Registration for Tuesday’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic will continue from 8 a.m. until noon on Monday in Hall A of the Hot Springs Convention Center, inside the back entrance off Church Street, according to a news release from the city of Hot Springs.
The drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination clinic on Tuesday will take place at the Garland County Fairgrounds for individuals who have registered and are included in Phase 1-B of Arkansas’ vaccine distribution plan.
The first registration opportunity on Thursday at the convention center only produced around 400 appointments, which is well short of the planned 1,500 doses to be available for the vaccination clinic, according to the release, so this second registration opportunity was established “so that anyone who feels they are eligible for a
COVID-19 vaccine would be encouraged to pick up an appointment.”
Phase 1-B includes people aged 65 years and older; in education; police, fire and other first responders; corrections workers; food and agriculture; individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities; essential government; grocery store/meal delivery; public transit; houses of worship; manufacturing; and private and personal care.
