Authority Dr. Sergio Lara Addresses
COVID-19 Vaccines, Testing & New
CDC Guidelines
With the rise in COVID-19 cases, particularly the
omicron variant, Plainview - Hale County Health
Authority Dr. Sergio Lara addresses COVID-19
protocols, including vaccines, testing and new CDC
guidelines.
“As we embark on two years of fighting the COVID-19
virus, including the new variant omicron, we encourage
everyone to continue working together for the health
and safety of our neighbors and friends,” says
Plainview Hale County Health Authority Dr. Sergio
Lara. “Vaccines and booster vaccines are available at
most pharmacies in Plainview and Hale County and
testing sites are also open if you are feeling sick or
have close contact with someone affected by COVID-
19.”
“Additionally, updated CDC guidelines promote a quicker return to school or work for
those who test positive or have been exposed to COVID-19,” said Lara. “The guidelines
are available on the CDC or City of Plainview’s websites.”
“It’s also important to continue practicing familiar protocols – quarantine if feeling ill,
wear a mask and social distance when appropriate. Keeping everyone as safe and
healthy as possible is what we strive to achieve for all Plainview and Hale County
residents.”
Vaccines are currently available at Home Town Pharmacy, Amigos United Pharmacy,
Wal-Mart Pharmacy and CVS Pharmacy. Appointments are recommended at most
locations.
Testing Sites include CVS Pharmacy, Covenant Health Clinics (3 in Plainview, 1 in Hale
