SPARTAN Public Transportation has partnered with the Texas Department of State Health Services to host a free measles vaccination clinic and testing site at the SPARTAN facility in Levelland.
This collaborative initiative will offer measles vaccines to residents across the South Plains area regardless of income or insurance coverage.
The vaccine clinic began March 31, every Monday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the SPARTAN Transportation facility, located at 1105 TX-114 in Levelland.
The clinic is open to all members of the community until April 14th. No appointments are necessary; walk-ins are welcome, and all vaccines will be administered by certified healthcare professionals from the Texas Department of State Health Services.
The SPARTAN facility is not unfamiliar with hosting an event of this magnitude. In 2021, the facility opened its doors to the public to host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in conjunction with its ribbon cutting. Similarly, last year after the May 28 and 29 storms that caused widespread damage in Hockley County, the SPARTAN crew opened their doors once again as a response center for residents who lost power.
“We are excited to partner with DSHS to provide this important health service at this crucial time,” said Brian Baker, Director of SPARTAN Public Transportation. “Whether we are providing rides or sharing our space, we operate every day under the certainty that our modem, multi-purpose assets make us ready to adapt and respond to the unknown.” added Baker.
Details of the clinic include: No appointment necessary, walk-ins are welcome.
No cost associated as the clinic services are free.
Parking will be on the East side of the facility, pull up to an orange cone and wait in your vehicle for a worker to come assist you.
Residents are encouraged to bring any necessary documentation, such as previous vaccination records, but it is not required.
