It was announced today that the “Team Tune-Up” mobile health clinic brought to you by Kroger Health is coming to the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area to offer health screenings and vaccinations in the parking lots of local Kroger stores.
A new push for protection as the fall illness season arrives began Monday as Dallas County officials lined up to get flu and COVID-19 vaccinations themselves.
This partnership is an excellent example of the ways the city is innovative in our efforts to break down the barriers that might keep people from getting a vaccine, said Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price said in a statement. Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County is an organization that already does incredible work in our community year-round, and having the fire department working with them to bring vaccines right to the homes of members of our most vulnerable populations just makes sense.
Jeff Loesch, director of Kroger Health, said the company is proud to continue its partnership with the city of Fort Worth and other local communities to ensure everyone has access to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Starting Monday, all Texans 50 and older will be eligible to get a vaccine as part of the state’s next phase of inoculating residents against the coronavirus. But getting an appointment is a different matter.
Some counties and pharmacies are still updating their websites and systems to reflect the new criteria, which the state announced Wednesday. Previously, vaccination efforts focused on Texans 65 and older.
