As we mentioned in today’s digest, state and local officials are trying to prioritize distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine to make sure that front-line workers and people most vulnerable to complications are vaccinated first.
But where can you find (or eventually find) the vaccine in or near the Park Cities and Preston Hollow?
We took a look at where readers could go as vaccine supplies get replenished. Bear in mind that right now, the state guidelines only allow for 1A (front-line workers) and 1B (medically vulnerable individuals and those 65 and older) to receive the vaccine.
Note: This list is not exhaustive, and we could periodically add new clinics and pharmacies to it as we become aware of them.
When and where can I get it in North Texas?
If you are included in the Phase 1B group, you can get the COVID-19 vaccine if your local provider has enough vaccine shots available.
On Jan. 10, Texas announced it was opening 28 large-scale hub locations. In addition, to reach smaller communities across the state, Abbott said vaccine doses would be delivered to 206 smaller locations.
Dallas County is working to help vaccinate about 2,000 people per day from the site that opened at Fair Park on Monday, Jan 11.
To register for the COVID-19 vaccine, you can visit the Dallas County Health and Human Services website at https://www.dallascounty.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccination.php.
