R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, On February 2, 2021, Denton County hosted its first
  drive-through COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Texas Motor Speedway,
  which at the time was the largest vaccination effort of its kind in
  the state; and
         WHEREAS, Texas Motor Speedway's 131-acre parking lot was
  converted into 16 lanes, where 400 staff and volunteers were on hand
  to administer vaccines and screen and monitor vaccine recipients;
  approximately 9,100 individuals were immunized on the first day of
  the drive-through clinic, and within three days Denton County
  provided the vaccine to more than 27,000 individuals; history was
  made again on March 4, 2021, when a recipient at the Texas Motor
  Speedway received the 100,000th COVID-19 vaccination; and
         WHEREAS, A number of individuals have devoted time and effort
  to making the clinic a success; those deserving of recognition for
  their contributions include Denton County Judge Andy Eads, the
  Denton County Commissioners Court, Denton County Public Health, the
  Denton County Medical Reserve Corps, the leadership of Texas Motor
  Speedway, local municipalities throughout the region, first
  responders, medical personnel, and all volunteers who helped staff
  the clinic; special thanks is also owed to the Texas Department of
  State Health Services and the Texas Division of Emergency
  Management under the leadership of Governor Greg Abbott for their
  support, as well as to the Federal Emergency Management Agency; and
         WHEREAS, Denton County and its partners are planning more
  clinics for the future as additional doses arrive, and the
  drive-through COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Texas Motor Speedway
  continues to serve as the model for vaccination clinics across the
  state and nation; and
         WHEREAS, By joining together in this collaborative
  undertaking, these organizations and individuals are helping to
  swiftly immunize more Texans and bring an end to the COVID-19 crisis
  in the community, and it is a pleasure to commend them on a job well
  done; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize Denton County and its partners for
  hosting one of the largest drive-through COVID-19 vaccination
  clinics in the state and extend to all those involved sincere best
  wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Denton County as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
