Registered nurse Joyce Turner draws a dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine as she prepares to administer a booster shot to Arturo Coronel, not pictured, during a free drive-up vaccine clinic held at Compass Rose Ingenuity Campus Charter School in San Antonio, Texas, Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 5, 2022. The Health Collaborative, Lela Pharmacy, and the YWCA teamed up to offer Pfizer, Modern and Johnson & Johnson vaccines to eligible people from 1-4 p.m. Wednesday.

This week they’ve seen up to three times more people showing up.

Previously, the city/county health department only offered the grocery store gift cards for those who either got the Johnson and Johnson single-shot vaccine or when a person completed their two-shot inoculation of Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech.
