THE TERLINGUA MOON


VOL. 32, NO. 13    March 30, 2021     By MaeWestern

“We’re all down in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars.”   Oscar Wilde


All Texas adults are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine as of Monday, March 29th. Anyone who received their first dose of COVID vaccine at the Red Pattillo community center on March 3rd should return to receive their second dose on April 1st. Same time, same place! Please make a plan to be there. If you have questions or need help, please call Sara Colando at 432-371-2902. We’re working to arrange another 1st dose clinic in Terlingua/Study Butte, but don’t have any firm plans yet.


CORRECTION!  I've just been told that the National Guard will be administering 2nd Doses of Moderna's Coronavirus Vaccine on March 31st, NOT on April 1st.

This 2nd Dose Vaccination Clinic is for anyone who received their 1st dose at the previous clinic on March 3rd. 

If you were administered the 1st Dose on March 3rd at the Red Pattillo Community Center, your vaccination card will state that you should receive your second dose on or after April 1st. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. 

Your dose will be ready and waiting for you on MARCH 31 AT THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER ON FM 170.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD THAT THE DATE AND LOCATION HAS BEEN CHANGED!  

~ Commissioner Sara Allen Colando


The Brewster County Courthouse will be closed on Friday, April 2, 2021, in observance of Good Friday.
