CONWAY — Appointments to receive the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be available Mondays and Tuesdays in February for anyone who received their first dose, Memorial Hospital announced Friday.
The additional doses (170 per week for the next three weeks) were originally allocated to Tamworth for second doses but that clinic has now closed.
