Phase 1C of vaccine distribution has begun in Dallas as 50 and over citizens line up for their shots. An NBC 5 DFW article from March 15th reports,
“Texans over the age of 50 who did not qualify for the COVID-19 vaccine in the state’s phases 1A and 1B became eligible Monday.
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, there are about 5 million Texans between the ages of 50 and 64, and the state estimates about 1 million have already been vaccinated.
People in that age range are considered high-risk for either becoming seriously ill or dying from COVID-19.”
Dallas is also working to get vaccines to FEMA-Priority Zip Codes according to a CBS 11 DFW article from March 15th. In it they say:
“As more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine arrive in North Texas, the City of Dallas is working to help people living in priority areas, as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), register to get their shots.
Anyone living in one of the 17 zip codes considered a priority can call the recreation center in their area and set up a vaccination appointment. Once the date and time are scheduled the patient will also receive information on when to arrive at a designated pickup location to be driven to the Fair Park hub. (https://chacc.co.uk/) ”
