COVID-19 vaccines available without appointment at NRG Park site
HOUSTON - Appointments are no longer necessary to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at the FEMA Community Vaccination Center at NRG Park.
Officials say people can now drive up or walk up to the site to get vaccinated, although registration is preferred to guarantee a vaccine is available at a time and location of their choice.
