“We are setting a record for vaccinations happening this weekend in Corpus Christi and Nueces County. Over 12,000 vaccinations will be administered this weekend alone. This weekend also marks the first time we will see patrons receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccination. This speaks volumes about the coordinated efforts and hard work of our team and partner agencies," Mayor Paulette M. Guajardo said.

Things to know:

  • All patrons have pre-registered, no walk ins accepted
  • New registrations will open upon vaccine availability for future clinics
  • Vaccines of different brands should not be mixed. If you received Moderna vaccine for your first dose, you should receive Moderna vaccine for your second dose.
  • If you registered for first dose, you do not need to re-register for the second dose.
