Midland College (MC) students enrolled in the Associate Degree Nursing (Registered Nurse) program,
the Vocational Nursing program and the Paramedic Program, along with MISD students enrolled in the
Midland College/MISD College & Careers Health Sciences Academy will be assisting Midland Health
with administering the COVID-19 vaccine at the Horseshoe complex beginning the week of January 25.
“Midland College is honored to be able to assist in this important community initiative,” Dr. Steve
Thomas, MC president said. “Our faculty and students are excited about the opportunity to participate,
and this will be a great hands-on experience for students in our Health Sciences programs. We are
proud that we are able to provide Midland residents with this resource.”
As reported by Midland Health earlier this week, 5,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are expected to
arrive beginning this week.
During the mass-vaccination efforts, MC faculty and students will partner with Midland Health, City of
Midland and Midland County personnel. Approximately 1,000 people will be vaccinated each day.
Those individuals who qualify under Phase 1A (front-line workers) or Phase 1B (65 and older or with
chronic health conditions) will be vaccinated first. The City of Midland Health Department will schedule
appointments for those who signed up on the city’s waitlist. Appointments are required. Those who
qualify for the vaccine will receive a text or email confirmation when they’re scheduled for an
appointment.
Those who want to register for the vaccine waitlist can do so at midlandhealth.org/vaccine.
The Odessa Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance with a rash of vandalisms that occurred last night in North & Central Odessa. OPD has responded to at least a dozen criminal mischief calls where unknown subjects used a BB gun to shoot out vehicle windows. All of the vehicles were parked and unoccupied during the time of each incident.
At this time no arrests have been made and there are no suspects. Anyone who has surveillance footage of any of these incidents is asked to contact the Odessa Police Department or Odessa Crime Stoppers at 432-333-TIPS. The investigation continues.
