COVID-19 Vaccination Update for Montgomery County Status Update from the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX – The Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, in partnership with The Lone Star Family Health Center, will be opening a COVID-19 drive-thru mass vaccination site at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds located at 9333 Airport Road in Conroe, Texas. This vaccination site is possible due to the Department of State Health Services allocating 2,000 doses to Lone Star Family Health Center this week.

“As the state continues to increase the amount vaccines allocated to our community providers in the coming weeks, Montgomery County is proud to be partnering with Lone Star Family Health to open our first community mass vaccination site. Eligible residents can begin to make appointments to receive their first dose on-site and as additional supply becomes available from the state we look forward to opening more sites across the county to help get those in the community who wish to receive the vaccine easier access.” said County Judge Mark Keough.
