Two exciting new developments in Dallas’ Covid vaccination rollout have started. The first is a drive-thru vaccination service available this Saturday according to a WFAA 8 article from April 22nd. In it they say:
“There are two hubs open Saturday for drive-thru vaccines in Dallas County.
Parkland Hospital offers drive-thru COVID-19 vaccines from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday at two separate locations. No appointment needed.
Anyone who is 16 or 17 years old must be accompanied by an adult.”
The second is the start of Dallas’ home vaccination program for the elderly according to a Dallas Morning News article from April 21st. In it they say:
“The program is the next step in the goal to vaccinate vulnerable residents and comes three months after Dallas County’s vaccine hub opened at Fair Park in South Dallas. Initial efforts to inoculate Black and Latino people in the county had fallen short, complicated by transportation issues and internet access because of an online registration system.
Now, as doses have become more widely available and an increasing number of people are getting inoculated, the city and county have streamlined the vaccination process.”
These new developments come as an attempt to make the new vaccines more accessible.
