As local leaders work to get more residents, especially those in minority communities, signed up to be vaccinated, efforts around registration assistance are ramping up.
In addition to the events listed below, Dallas County has opened a bilingual call center to help people register for the vaccine
The call center is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. To reach the center 1-855-IMMUNE9 (1-855-466-8639).
One of the people in line was Millie Allen, who said she lived near the school. She said Saturday was her first attempt at registering for the vaccine.
“I do not have internet or a computer to do, so that’s one main reason I’m here,” she said.
Others in line also shared similar experiences and said they either haven’t tried to sign up yet due to technological challenges or had not been successful in registering themselves.
Taylor Toynes, executive director of the organization For Oak Cliff, said this is why events like the one on Saturday present crucial opportunities.
