The city of Dallas and Dallas County will open a mega vaccination site in Fair Park on Monday, where the county health department expects up to 2,000 people to be vaccinated each day.
“We are going to vaccinate thousands of our most vulnerable residents in Fair Park next week, with well over 100,000 people on the list, the list growing daily and the state giving us enough vaccines to vaccinate six to seven thousand people this week,” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said in a statement. “Obviously, we won’t reach everyone, so I appreciate your patience and grace as we work on the mass vaccination task for North Texas.”
Vaccination will be by appointment only from Monday to Saturday, from 8 am to 5 pm, depending on the availability of the vaccine.
Dallas County residents and non-Dallas County residents who qualify for the Phase 1A or Phase 1B vaccine can register for an appointment on the Dallas County website. Subscribers will receive a confirmation email notifying them that they have signed up and more information about the next steps.
“With more than 100,000 registered residents and many more in need of vaccination, this partnership with the county is instrumental in returning to some sense of normalcy,” said director of the Emergency Management Office, Rocky Vaz, in a written statement.
