From church to a local bar district, the COVID-19 vaccine is coming a place near you
Look for a shot at several churches, Deep Ellum and even Dallas Love Field.

Remember when demand far outstripped the supply of COVID-19 vaccines? Back then lines were long and people were scrambling to get a shot at a shot.
Now there are plenty of doses, but not enough people stepping up for them. So even while half the people in Dallas County (and Texas as a whole) have received at least one shot, we are far from reaching the 80% vaccination rate that experts call “herd immunity,” which will enable all of us to get back to normal life.
