Whether youre in need of a COVID-19 test or vaccine, the city of Corpus Christi has got you covered.

Next week, free COVID-19 testing will be offered at the Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial site on Monday Oct. 4 and Wednesday Oct. 6 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Minors 12-17 can receive their first and second dose of the Pfizer shot with written parental consent. Those 18 and older can receive either the Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson&Johnson shot.

Booster shots are also available to those over 65, those 18 and older with high risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms, and those whose job exposure to COVID-19 puts them at a higher risk for complications. You can find out if you are eligible here.

Now lets say youre infected with the coronavirus right now. Regeneron Infusion Therapy is available to those who qualify. To receive the monoclonal treatment, you have to be at least 12-years-old, weigh at least 88 pounds, have a doctors referral, and fall into one or more of the following groups:

If you think you may fall into one of the above categories, call your doctor to get a referral. If you dont have a primary care doctor, you can call (800) 742-5990, and the staff will evaluate if you qualify.

The Regeneron Infusion Clinic is located at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds in Robstown. Its open seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you dont have an appointment, walk-ins are welcome at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m.
