The joint City of Eagle Pass and Maverick County Emergency Operations Center announced it will inoculate another 1,200 local citizens with the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at the City of Eagle Pass International Center for Trade, 3295 Bob Rogers Drive, Eagle Pass, Texas from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
EOC staff have already telephoned or contacted the 1,200 people scheduled to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on March 10.
EOC staff have administered a total of 11,621 COVID-19 vaccines in Maverick County as of March 9, 2021.
Maverick County Judge David R. Saucedo announced at a COVID-19 press conference held on March 9, 2021 that EOC had received 3,000 COVID-19 vaccines from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for the week of March 8-13, 2021.
Saucedo noted that from these 3,000 vaccines, EOC can probably extend them to about 3,200 vaccines utilizing the excess amounts in the vaccine vials in a most efficient manner.
Saucedo also stated that EOC is hosting a 1,200 plus second dose COVID-19 vaccine distribution on Saturday, March 13, 2021 at the City of Eagle Pass ICT from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. These recipients will be notified on Thursday and Friday, March 11-12, 2021.
