FORT WORTH (WBAP/KLIF News) – Amid a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations nationwide, Tarrant County health officials have ramped up vaccine urgency efforts by partnering with the Fort Worth Zoo.
They’re offering free shots at pop-up clinics at the Zoo on Wednesdays, which are half-priced for patrons.
The clinics will run from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. and administrators will offer the Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines at the Portraits of The Wild Art Gallery.
