The city of Mission announced Friday morning that it will begin pre-registering eligible residents at 10 a.m. Friday morning for the Moderna vaccine.
“To provide for a more efficient operation, eligible residents will be required to pre-register for the Moderna vaccine beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 12, at Sharyland High School, 1216 N. Shary Road. To pre-register, qualified residents must drive through the north side entrance of the Sharyland HS campus. Face masks are required at all times when interacting with staff in the registration area,” the city said in a news release it issued at approximately 7:30 a.m.
The city says eligible residents who pre-register will be issued a colored wristband displaying a designated time for them to return to the Mission Event Center on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
The events center is located at 2425 Ruby Red Blvd.
“Patrons will only be allowed into the parking area at the vaccination site 30 minutes before their designated time slots on Tuesday,” the news release states.
Wristbands are being issued on a first come, first serve basis, the city says.
“Vaccine recipients must be in attendance during pre-registration to receive a wristband. Please do not attend if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or have been exposed to someone who tested positive,” the release states.
The city of Mission says it is following state protocol that targets healthcare workers, who will be asked to provide proof that they are in the industry.
“This week’s clinic also targets anyone 65 years or older. In addition, people aged 18 and older with certain medical conditions are eligible to be vaccinated with the advice of their doctors,” the city says.
