COVID 19 VACCINATION INFORMATION AS OF SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27
City of Dallas is recommending that everyone first reach out to their health care provider to see whether they are offering the Covid 19 Vaccine.
Vaccines in larger quantities are coming to North Texas and to Dallas County each week, so if they are not available currently to you, they should be soon.
VACCINE REGISTRATION AND ADMINISTRATION
Helpful questions and answers on Fair Park Site as of February 27:
- Dallas County is a vaccine distributor for Dallas County residents only. The City and County and Federal Government through FEMA have partnered to open a mega vaccine site at Fair Park with plans to vaccinate 2,000 residents daily.
- You can sign up to receive the vaccine here and visit the full website here which has more information about the order in which vaccines will be distributed. After you sign up, Dallas County will reach out to you directly when you are eligible to receive the vaccine. For those of you who already have a schedule vaccine or will in the near future, signage and volunteers all around Fair Park will guide you where to park. Once parked you will complete a short questionnaire and be directed to the Tower Building to get the vaccine. Once vaccinated, you will be directed to the next building where you will be observed for 15 minutes.
- Please continue to visit the mega site website for more information.

- Healing Hands is also a very local resource for vaccines in Vickery Midtown for the 1B Status eligible patients when they receive vaccines. Healing Hands has put together information for people who are eligible for the 1B status to be on a list at Healing Hands to receive the vaccine.
