MCKINNEY (WBAP/KLIF News) – The City of McKinney will end operations at its COVID-19 vaccination hubs by April 30th.
Mayor George Fuller said the hubs, at McKinney ISD Stadium and Community Event Center, were created to help the city’s most vulnerable get inoculated.
He added the hubs had a major impact on jump-starting Collin County’s vaccination process.
In a statement, Fuller said McKinney “Stood up the vaccination program until the private sector could stand up…now it’s time to let employees return to their normal duties and give our volunteers a much-deserved break and let private health care providers like physicians, hospitals and pharmacies take over public vaccination efforts. We will continue to assist our community by providing thorough information and serve as a community resource to help folks find where they can get vaccines.”
The McKinney Fire Department will complete all second doses for those who received their first dose from the hub, but it will not schedule public vaccination appointments after April 30th.
The city will start transitioning to private health providers and other ways to get residents vaccinated.
