SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District has announced that 10,000 COVID-19 vaccine appointments will open Monday night.

Health officials made the announcement on Sunday, saying 10,000 Pfizer vaccine appointments for the first dose will be available Monday from 6 p.m. on the Metro Health COVID-19 vaccine registry website.
