Walk-ups will also be accepted.For those unavailable, the health department will also set up shop during the Barrio Guadalupe Community Movie Night on Friday from 6:30-8 p.m. at Aztlan Park near 1st Street and Avenue K.The health department is also offering free vaccinations and tests from noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday at its main building in downtown Lubbock, 806 18th St.Due to the number of rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalisation recently, the focus on vaccinations has increased.
