ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Parents took advantage of the holiday to get their kids their COVID-19 vaccine. A shot clinic was at Albuquerque Public School’s Berna Facio Development Center located at 3315 Louisiana Blvd NE. Students eligible were able to get their first, second, or booster of the Pfizer vaccine.
“They were available a lot faster than some of the CVS’s. Which was in February and we wanted to get it done hopefully before then,” said APS parent, Meghan Brandt.
