Vaccine clinic at Minute Maid exceeds expectations, appointments rescheduled due to high volume - KHOU.com

HOUSTON — Thousands of people once again flocked to downtown Houston on Saturday for the city of Houston’s second mass distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine at Minute Maid Park.

In fact, health officials had to reschedule appointments for those still in line for future date because the site couldn't accommodate the high volume of people.

"The Houston Health Department vaccinated at minimum 6,122 people today at Minute Maid Park.

Saturday, officials said 5,451 people had been vaccinated at the mega-site.

“It’s a lot of people trying to get through the same process but considering what’s going on it wasn’t really a problem," Jackson said.

"They probably brought a truckload in here but if you’re going to do this all over the city you’ve got to have smaller distribution points and that’s difficult," Jackson said.
