At Hallettsville Phar- macy, at present it has not received any of the allotted vaccines and do not know when they will be receiv- ing any. Dr. Paula Grahmann said she has requested an allocation of the vaccina- tions, but does not have any idea when she may receive them. In the meantime, the pharmacy is placing its customers on a waiting list and after receiving the vaccines will work down the list to arrange appoints. Grahmann said asked that her customers have patience. The Walmart Pharmacy echoes the same senti- ments as the Hallettsville Pharmacy. A spokesperson at Walmart said they have not received any informa- tion as to when they will re- ceive doses of the vaccine. They expect to eventually get the information, but at present are unaware of that date. The spokesperson said they do plan to administer the vaccine once they start getting the information and receiving the vaccine. At all locations, the public is reminded to be patient. It may be several months before the vaccina- tion process is completed.
