“This vaccination site is possible because the State Department of Health Services has allocated 2,000 doses to the Lone Star Family Health Center this week,” a press release said. “As the state continues to increase the number of vaccines assigned to providers in our community in the coming weeks, Montgomery County is proud to partner with Lone Star Family Health to open our first mass vaccination site. Eligible residents can begin making appointments to receive the first dose on-site, and as additional state provision becomes available, we hope to open more locations throughout the county to help facilitate access to the community that wants to receive the vaccine. ”
