With the school year beginning in less than two weeks, the South Plains Public Health District (SPPHD) medical staff is hosting five COVID-19 vaccination clinics across the district. While everyone is invited to get an immunization shot for free during those clinics – one of which will be in Lamesa – one of the main focuses will be in vaccinating youngsters age 12 and over. The Lamesa clinic will be from 12:30 to 7 p.m. next Tuesday at the Forrest Park Community Center on S. Houston Ave. People need to call 806-637-2164 to get an appointment. Clinics also are being held in Brownfield,
