Montgomery County To Close COVID-19 Vaccine Hub June 3

CONROE, TX — Montgomery County will cease operations at the Woodforest Bank Stadium vaccine hub June 3, and operations already are beginning to come to a close, the county announced at Tuesday's Commissioner's Court meeting.

The court discussed the potential closing of the site at its previous meeting April 27.

Jason Millsaps, executive director of the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management, said the hub is no longer administering first doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines due to the timeline of the closure. Anyone needing a second dose of the vaccine from the hub's providers is encouraged to do so before the site closes.

Patch's attempts to contact the Office of Emergency Management haven't been answered. This story will be updated if they are returned.

The Montgomery County Public Health District announced Tuesday that there are 115 fewer active cases of COVID-19 in Montgomery County than in Monday's update, dropping the active-case count to 1,362, the county's lowest total since June 26.

The county added 82 cases Tuesday, bringing the total number of cases to 53,338 since the beginning of the pandemic.
