Although we have Denton County officials and numerous volunteers working assiduously to administer COVID-19 vaccinations to tens of thousands of residents, there may still be some who aren’t aware of the opportunity they have to avail themselves of this valuable and well-organized process.
In order to provide more info to those who haven’t been vaccinated, I asked Dr. Matt Richardson, Director of Public Health for Denton County, to answer some questions that might be on the minds of residents.
For example, how many have been vaccinated so far; which vaccines are being used; where residents can go to sign up for their shots; the locations used to administer same and many more. Information can also be obtained at: DentonCounty.gov/vaccine
The following is a short bio of Dr. Richardson.
